Car Accident Statistics

According to the National Safety Council from 2020, more people were killed in car accidents in which drivers were either not wearing seatbelts, going too fast, or were under alcohol. The death toll went up by 8.3 percent after falling for three consecutive years. 2020 saw 42,338 fatalities due to car accidents, up from 39,107 in 2019.

Yet, between 1913 and 2020, the rate of fatalities per 10,000 licensed drivers dropped from 33 to 1.53. Only 1,300,000 cars were counted for the year, and 4,200 people were killed on the roads. In 2020, there were 276,000,000 automobiles on the road, resulting in 42,338 deaths.

Fewer people (0.4% more) were living in the world in 2020, fewer cars (-0.2%) were being registered, and fewer miles were being driven (-11.0%). Because of this, the death rate per vehicle increased by 21.7%, the death rate per person by 8.50%, and the death rate per mile traveled by 7.91%.

As many as 4.8 million persons in 2020 visited a doctor because of injuries sustained in a car crash. It was estimated that the cost of caring for people harmed in car crashes was $473,2 billion. The costs to an organization in terms of wages and productivity lost, as well as for things like healthcare, office supplies, car repairs, and other items, can be substantial.
