Single-Vehicle Crash Statistics

In the United States, 1.35 million people per year pass away on roads, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In these collisions, pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcycle riders sustain fatal injuries.

A car accident is the eighth leading cause of death worldwide and the leading killer of teenagers and young children.
In 2020, there were 1.37 fatalities per 100 kilometers driven in the United States. Traffic fatalities increased by 18.4% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to last year.

A variety of things can cause a single-car collision. Run-off-the-road accidents happen when motorists lose control of their cars due to speeding or sudden maneuvers on slick, wet roads. Branches and other objects that fall from trucks may also be left all over the streets.

These accidents can be decreased by using a seatbelt, staying focused, and avoiding distractions while driving. People risk becoming involved in fatal accidents even when taking precautions.

What Should You Do After an Accident Occurred?

Make sure the police show up and file a report about the accident. Tell the truth when interviewed at the scene of the accident about what you saw and experienced. Watch what you say, and don’t jump to conclusions about things you don’t know. Even if they are not at fault, accident victims frequently apologize profusely after an accident. Insurance companies can use this act of goodwill against you to deny a claim by arguing that you admitted fault.

Intentional or not, reckless driving is always wrong. If an accident directly results from a careless driver’s actions, the victim may file a claim against that driver’s insurance provider.

Testifying about past losses and traumas in a deposition or trial can be emotionally draining. Victims of crimes may find themselves under additional stress during court proceedings.

If you were involved in a car crash, you must take legal action against the responsible person. When someone gets hurt because of someone else’s carelessness, those people need to be held accountable.
