Fatal Two-Vehicle Collision Statistics
The number of people killed or injured in car accidents in the United States has risen dramatically over the years. According to the NSC, approximately 38,000 people lost their lives in car accidents in the United States in 2019.
On the state’s extensive and congested highways, fatal car accidents are all too common. Every year, many people are killed on California’s roads as a result of speeding and trucking accidents.
In California, auto accidents are a leading cause of injury-related death. More than 3,304 people died in car accidents in 2017, according to the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).
Many car accidents can be avoided, such as when a driver is intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, whether illegal or prescribed. Owners and managers of transportation firms, on the other hand, will be held liable if their employees work excessively long hours without adequate rest periods. Depending on the vehicle, wearing a seatbelt or a helmet may help reduce the risk of fatalities for both drivers and passengers.
