Oklahoma Auto Accidents
Every year, Oklahoma sees over 70,000 vehicle accidents. Thousands of people are injured, and hundreds lose their lives in these crashes. Nationwide, the numbers are even more staggering: millions of accidents occur annually in the United States, leading to tens of thousands of deaths and millions of injuries. Every day, over 7,500 people are injured in car accidents, with more than 100 fatalities.
Many factors can cause auto accidents, including poor driving conditions, malfunctioning vehicles, and careless driving. However, the majority are due to reckless driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 93% of vehicle collisions in the U.S. are caused by driver negligence. Over the past decade, driver distraction has become the leading cause of traffic accidents, with speeding, alcohol, and fatigue also being significant contributors.
In the United States as a whole, there are over 6 million auto accidents annually, with more than 90% of them being caused by negligent driving. If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to bear the financial burden alone. Compensation may cover medical expenses, vehicle repairs, lost wages, and other damages, including pain and suffering.
