Car accidents happen every day across the United States, often with devastating consequences. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report showed that about 2.44 million people were injured in U.S. motor vehicle crashes in 2023. More recent reports show a continuing trend. In the same year, approximately 40,901 people were killed in U.S. motor vehicle crashes.
Based on these figures, more than 100 people die each day due to these crashes. That adds up to more than 36,000 traffic deaths per year, showing how even small daily numbers reflect a major public safety issue.
