The Stats On Car Accidents
Despite the technological advancements in vehicle safety, around 1.2 million people across the world die every year due to car accidents.
In the United States alone, more than 30,000 people die from car accident-related injuries on an annual basis. Nationally, car accidents consistently rank as one of the top ten leading causes of death among individuals aged 1-54 years old.
Unfortunately, In the United States, auto and motorcycle accidents remain leading causes of injury and death. In 2023, over 44,000 lives were lost due to motor vehicle crashes, according to the National Safety Council (NSC). Motorcycle accidents, in particular, tend to be more severe, with motorcyclists being nearly 29 times more likely to die in a crash than car occupants, as reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). These accidents not only result in fatalities but also leave millions with serious injuries, from fractures to traumatic brain injuries. The financial impact is staggering, with the cost of crash-related injuries and fatalities amounting to billions each year, covering medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Addressing these risks requires both heightened awareness and legal measures to protect victims.
Since car accidents are so prevalent in today’s society, chances are that you or a loved one may have suffered injuries in a collision caused by someone else’s negligence. At Maxx Compensation, we pride ourselves in working tirelessly on behalf of our clients injured in these types of accidents.
In the United States, Uninsured and underinsured motorists pose a significant risk to drivers across the United States. According to the Insurance Research Council (IRC), about 1 in 8 drivers (12.6%) were uninsured in 2023. This number varies by state, with some states having uninsured rates as high as 29%. For those involved in accidents with uninsured or underinsured drivers, the financial impact can be devastating, often resulting in insufficient coverage for medical bills, vehicle repairs, and other damages. Even if the at-fault driver has insurance, their policy limits may not fully cover the victim’s expenses, especially in severe accidents. This underscores the importance of uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, which helps protect individuals in these unfortunate situations.

Common Causes of Car Accidents
WEATHER
In many states, drivers must adjust to road and weather conditions such as heavy rain, ice, strong winds, fog, and snowstorms. Unfortunately, drivers do not heed common sense or weather advisories and drive much too fast in unfavorable conditions, often causing car accidents.
SPEEDING
When drivers speed, they exponentially increase their chances of crashing into stationary objects or other vehicles. Simply stated, speeding causes loss of vehicle control as well as a diminished reaction time necessary to avoid a collision.
DISTRACTED DRIVERS
Not surprisingly, distracted drivers cause between 25 to 50 percent of vehicle accidents in the United States. There are many distractions that today’s drivers face, including texting while driving; other inappropriate cell phone usage; eating; talking; singing; and trying to follow driving directions.
DRUNK DRIVING
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that every day, about 37 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes—that’s one person every 39 minutes. In 2022, 13,524 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, and many more were injured.
DRIVER FATIGUE
The U.S. National Traffic Safety Administration reports that driver fatigue accounts for an estimated 100,000 car accidents in the United States every year. Studies show that driver fatigue most often occurs between 11:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. and between 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.
AGGRESSIVE DRIVING
Aggressive drivers are often abusive and rude, and tend to flash inappropriate gestures and expressions to other drivers. This type of behavior includes flashing lights at others due to irritation; aggressive tailgating; deliberately preventing another car from moving or changing lanes; physical assault; callously ignoring traffic lights and signals; the frequent and unsafe changing of lanes; and failing to yield to the right of way. Unfortunately, aggressive driving is a leading cause of car accidents.
