Reckless Accident Statistics

Careless drivers are responsible for tens of thousands of accidents, tens of thousands of injuries, and hundreds of deaths every year in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration characterizes reckless driving as “a wanton disregard” for the safety of other motorists, passengers, and pedestrians.

It’s hard to estimate how many people lose their lives due to reckless driving. Yet, a 2009 AAA survey indicated that between 2003 and 2007, irresponsible driving contributed to 56% of occurrences. According to data from the Fatal Accident Reporting System of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding is a major contributing factor to a wide range of fatal car accidents in the United States.

What to Do After a Car Accident

When involved in an automobile crash, the first thing you should do is call the police. If questioned by authorities, respond with facts rather than assumptions. Some victims, even if they were not at fault, may feel obligated to apologize. Any such actions may be used as evidence by insurers to deny a claim.
