Oklahoma Car Crashes
Car wrecks happen all the time in the state of Oklahoma, with tens of thousands reported per year. These wrecks occur for countless reasons, including car problems and bad weather. However, throughout Oklahoma, most accidents are caused by driver negligence. Negligent driving has become a serious problem across the nation, especially in the past decade. Due to the ever-increasing use and popularity of smartphones and other handheld technology, driver distraction is one of the main causes of auto accidents in the US.
Per year, more than 94% of car wrecks reported across the nation are caused by negligent driving, a hazardous and widespread issue affecting millions of people per year. Alarmingly, more than 6 million car wrecks happen across the nation yearly, with more than 90% of them caused by negligent driving. Things like speeding, fatigue, distraction, and intoxication cause millions of auto accidents every year.
