CAR ACCIDENT STATISTICS

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released a study saying U.S. motor vehicle accidents cost almost a trillion dollars in loss of productivity and loss of life annually. Around 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year. Car crash statistics list the causes of car accidents as follows:

  • 32 percent of accidents are caused by drunk driving.
  • 31 percent are caused by speeding.
  • 16 percent because of distractions like cell phones.
  • 11 percent are due to bad weather.

Car accidents can range from fender benders to major collisions, resulting in irreparable damage to your vehicle, yourself, or passengers.  There are many hardships associated with car accidents including:

  • Automotive repairs
  • Complete replacement of your vehicle
  • Inability to work
  • Transportation
  • Insurance rate increases
  • Medical bills
  • Death
  • Legal battles

INJURIES AND REPERCUSSIONS

The injuries and damage sustained from a car accident can cause pain, suffering, and lasting physical and/or mental impairments. Head injuries are typically the most threatening in collisions. These injuries range from mild concussions to comas, lasting cognitive problems, hearing loss, and vision problems. Back injuries such as herniated discs and spinal cord damage are significantly formidable and common as well. The most predictable injury is whiplash. Whiplash happens when the sudden force of a collision stretches and tears the muscles and tendons in your neck.

Other injuries may include:

  • Emotional distress
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Traumatic cardiac arrest
  • Torn ACL
  • Headaches
  • Abdominal pain or swelling
  • Internal bleeding
  • Blunt force trauma

INSURANCE ISSUES

After a car accident, you are now more of a risk to your insurance carrier and your rates will go up. If you are found to be at fault, your insurance rates could rise significantly. How high your rates will go up depends on your insurance company and their policies. Sometimes even if you are not at fault some insurance carriers will still raise your rates. However, if you are able to competently file a claim against the at-fault party, you are far less likely to see your rates go up.

WHAT TO DO

After a car accident, you will need an experienced attorney to ensure you receive the maximum compensation for all injuries and damages.
