Oklahoma Car Crashes
The state of Oklahoma sees tens of thousands of car crashes every year. Unfortunately, the majority of car wrecks in the United States and the state of Oklahoma are caused by negligent drivers. Driver negligence has become a serious issue throughout the country, especially in the past decade.
Those who suffer injuries due to these types of dangerous accidents often end up in the hospital. Hospital care related to serious car crash injuries can be expensive, extensive, and overwhelming. It can take up much of your time, energy, and money, leaving you feeling like your entire life has been turned upside down. The only thing worse than being hurt in a crash yourself is having someone you love suffer injuries similarly.
Every year, the United States sees more than 6 million car accidents that injure around 3 million people and take the lives of around 40,000. In Oklahoma specifically, on average, around 650 people lose their lives per year in fatal car crashes. In 2019, over 11,000 injury crashes were reported, and 584 fatal car accidents.
