According to the NHTSA, there were more than 5.2 million car accidents in the United States in 2020. Less than 1% (35,766) of these collisions resulted in fatalities, whereas 30% (1.6 million) caused injuries.

Trends indicate that fatal collisions increased by 6.8% between 2019 and 2020, with the mortality rate rising to 1.34 deaths per 100 million cars driven. The injury rate decreased from 2019 to 2020 by 6.0 percent, dropping to 79 injuries per 100 million vehicle miles in 2020.

Sixty-seven percent of traffic accident victims were drivers, followed by 24 percent of passengers, 4 percent of motorcycle riders, 3 percent of pedestrians, and 2 percent of cyclists on pedals.
