Oklahoma Motorcycle Accidents
Car accidents have become one of the most common reasons American people end up with severe injuries or lose their lives each year. Over 6 million traffic collisions occur per year in the United States. These accidents end in injuries for over 3 million people per year. Additionally, these crashes take more than 40,000 lives annually. In Oklahoma specifically, over 60,000 traffic collisions occur per year that injure tens of thousands of people and take the lives of thousands more.
Motorcyclists who become injured in auto accidents often sustain injuries that land them in the hospital or worse. Every year, over 5,000 motorcyclists lose their lives in traffic accidents in the United States. Sadly, motorcyclists often become victimized by negligent drivers on American Roadways.
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.
