Being in a traumatic car accident is a terrifying experience for survivors and their loved ones.

A number of factors cause car accidents, including:

  • Driving under the influence of alcohol, illicit drugs, or prescription drugs
  • Driving while distracted, commonly from the use of a cell phone
  • Driving while sick or fatigued
  • Reckless or aggressive driving maneuvers, such as speeding, tailgating, or suddenly changing lanes without signaling
  • Disregarding traffic signs, signals, and laws
  • Inexperienced drivers on the roadway
  • Roadway complications and construction zones
  • Abrupt changes in traffic patterns
  • Improperly or poorly maintained vehicles
  • Low visibility, commonly from driving after dark, through dense fog, or in inclement weather

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that one person is killed every 39 minutes from a drunk driving accident in the United States, with approximately 13,525 alcohol-related fatalities occurring in one recent year.

The NHTSA further reports that 56 percent of drivers who were involved in a serious injury and fatal crash in one recent year tested positive for at least one drug.

An estimated 3,310 people were killed as a result of a distracted driver, close to 700 deaths were caused by a drowsy driver, and approximately 12,150 people were killed from speeding-related incidents.
