Two-Vehicle Collision Statistics

Every sixty seconds, a car accident occurs somewhere in the United States. Not surprisingly, given the number of vehicles using the nation’s roads each day.

At least two million individuals are injured in automobile accidents across the United States each year. A total of 36,560 people were killed in 2018, according to the US Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

Reckless driving, distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, and mechanical failure are just some of the most common reasons car accidents happen.

The driver who caused the accident is liable to the other involved parties for paying their damages, such as those just listed. In California, the fault for a collision depends on which driver negligently caused the accident. Sometimes both drivers can be at fault. Even if this happens, one driver might recover damages from the other driver.
