Nevada Car Wrecks
In the United States, over 106 deaths happen per day due to auto accidents. Yearly, more than 38,000 people lose their lives due to fatal car crashes. Additionally, about 4.4 million people are injured in non-fatal accidents every year in the United States. Car crashes pose significant economic consequences throughout the country and present a financial burden of about $242 billion per year due to exorbitant medical care costs, property damage, legal fees, and more.
Alarmingly, the majority of these crashes, or about 92% are caused by driver behaviors. Things like driver distraction, fatigue, speeding, and intoxication contribute to the majority of reported car crashes each year in the US. Negligent driving is considered a public health crisis in the United States, specifically distracted driving. Most drivers who cause accidents by being distracted are looking at their cell phones at the time of the crash.
No matter how mindful you are, you cannot predict the actions of other drivers on the road. Driving may be a convenient and fast way to get from point A to point B, but it is also dangerous. Unfortunately, we risk our lives each time we get inside our vehicles to drive. Accidents caused by negligence are often more severe than other crashes because negligent drivers travel while their judgment is impaired, their reaction times are reduced, and their ability to stay in their lane is obstructed.
