Oklahoma Car Accidents
Car accidents have become one of the most common reasons American people end up with severe injuries or lose their lives each year. In the United States, more than 6 million car accidents happen per year that injure around 3 million individuals and take more than 40,000 lives. In Oklahoma specifically, more than 60,000 traffic collisions occur yearly that injure tens of thousands of people and take the lives of thousands more.
Unfortunately, American car accidents happen over 17,000 times per day and injure over 7,500 people. More than 100 individuals lose their lives per day in auto accidents in the United States. Over 94% of these collisions are caused by the actions of negligent drivers. Driver negligence comes in many forms, including intoxication, distraction, and fatigue. Drivers who operate their vehicles while distracted cause millions of vehicle accidents per year and take thousands of lives each year.
