Oklahoma Car Wrecks
In Oklahoma, car accidents are not uncommon. On average, the Sooner State sees tens of thousands of vehicle accidents every year. These wrecks cause injuries to tens of thousands of people and take the lives of hundreds annually. Unfortunately, most of these crashes are caused by negligent drivers. Across the nation, negligent driving is behind over 90% of reported auto collisions. Each year, over 6 million car accidents are reported throughout the country, so when we consider that 90% of those are caused by negligent driving, we see the true magnitude of the issue of careless and reckless driving.
Driver negligence is an extremely dangerous and even deadly problem in the United States that has gotten increasingly worse over the past ten years. In one recent year, over 12,000 people were killed because of intoxicated driving. Additionally, speeding took the lives of more than 11,000 people in 2022. Negligent driving causes crashes that are much more dangerous than any other type of accident due to drivers not paying attention, having their vision or motor skills impaired, and more.
