Car Accident Statistics

Car accidents are a leading cause of death and injury in the United States. Over six million car accidents occur annually, resulting in more than two million injuries and almost 45,000 fatalities.

Although many factors can contribute to a car accident, some are more common than others. One of the most common causes of car accidents is distracted driving. This can include eating, talking on the phone, or even looking at something other than the road ahead. Distracted driving is hazardous because it takes the driver’s attention away from the task of driving, making it more likely that an accident will occur.

Another common cause of car crashes is speed. Speeding not only increases the chance of an accident happening but also makes its consequences more severe. Awareness of these and other risk factors is essential to help prevent car accidents. Car accidents would decrease significantly if everyone drove more carefully and paid attention to the road.
