Oklahoma Car Accidents
The state of Oklahoma sees over 70,000 car accidents per year. In 2018 specifically, there were 73,267 auto collisions reported. Tens of thousands of individuals sustain injuries in these wrecks while thousands end up losing their lives annually. Unfortunately, most of the car wrecks reported in the Sooner State are caused by the negligent actions of drivers. Driver negligence has become the most common reason the majority of car accidents happen throughout the United States, especially in the past ten years. Drivers who operate their vehicles while distracted, intoxicated, fatigued, or at unsafe speeds often cause collisions that end in serious injuries or even fatalities.
