Car Accident Statistics

The National Safety Council’s estimation that in 2020 road fatalities would rise due to risky driving habits like speeding, drunk driving, and the incorrect usage of safety devices like seatbelts would prove accurate.

The 8.3% rise in traffic-related fatalities is very troubling, given the general declining trend in fatalities over the prior three years. The number of people killed in automobile accidents rose from 39,107 in 2020 to 42,338 in 2021.

By the year 2020, the global population has increased by 0.4% from its 2010 level. Nonetheless, there was a discernible decrease from the norm in terms of both the number of people and the number of vehicles on the road, as well as the number of miles driven. There is a clear correlation between the rise in deaths, which has increased by 21.7%, and the rise in the number of new car registrations (8.5%).

The number of people visiting an emergency room due to injuries sustained in a motor vehicle crash was expected to reach around 4.81 million in 2020. Approximately $473.2 billion was expected to be spent on medical care for those injured in automobile accidents as a result of accidents.
