Auto Accident Statistics
Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of injury and death in the United States. Americans collectively drive almost 3 trillion miles each year and over 3 million people were injured or killed on our roads last year alone. The NHTSA (National Highway Transportation Safety Administration) compiles statistics regarding motor vehicle accidents and some of results are alarming. For example, in 2007 alone:
- Approximately 2,491,000 people were injured in traffic crashes.
- 32% of traffic fatalities were alcohol-related.
- 41,059 died in motor vehicle accidents.
- An estimated 6,024,000 auto accidents were reported to the police.
- 5,154 motorcyclists (drivers and passengers) were killed.
- 4,654 pedestrians lost their lives in traffic crashes.
- 4,808 fatalities were the result of accidents involving large trucks (weighing over 10,000 pounds)

Considering the above statistics, it is quite possible that you may be involved in a motor vehicle accident. If you have been involved in an accident caused by another driver's negligence, you may be able to file a claim against them for property damage, personal damage (medical expenses, pain and suffering, future losses, etc), and, in some cases, punitive damages. However, you must support your claim by proving 3 things:
- Negligence - The driver failed to use due care.
- Causation - The negligence of the driver caused the accident.
- Damages - You suffered damages as a result of the accident.
Never proceed with a negligence claim without first obtaining legal advice. An auto accident attorney experienced in the practice of personal injury law knows the court system, can cut through insurance company red tape, and will fight to make sure you are justly compensated for all current and future damages.
