Since 2014, car accidents have escalated at an alarming speed. There was an 8.4% increase in 2015, another 6.5% increase in 2016, and three small 1-2% decreases in the following three years. In 2020, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration expects the number to rise another 7.2% (numbers aren’t official yet, even in 2022).

According to law firm Ward and Barnes, the Fourth of July remains the deadliest day for most car accidents. The National Safety Council also expected that the 2021 time period will see an increase in car accidents and deaths.

The most dangerous countries

With the data we have so far, Wyoming, Mississippi, New Mexico, South Carolina, Alabama, Montana, and Arkansas rank highest in “deaths per 100,000 population.”

If you just compare the number of fatal car accidents that occur in a state, Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Tennessee top the list.

If you are also stuck in a car accident trial, it makes sense to hire a car accident lawyer. A law firm that specializes in auto accidents is better equipped to handle auto accident cases to build stronger cases or defenses.

Car accidents and the law

a Personal injury attorney or Car accident lawyer It is also highly recommended if you are in a multi-vehicle crash. Looking out for your own good in such a scenario is often the quickest and safest way out of this mess.

A knowledgeable attorney will help you stay away from the obvious mistakes that car owners generally make during a car accident trial.

It would be a mistake not to notice that car accidents largely depend on the damage done. The damage includes not only damage to vehicles but the people involved, pedestrians, the environment, and any other piece of property that was affected as well.

File a claim for car accidents

It is not uncommon for people to sue the drivers who caused an accident even if they were not directly related to the accident itself. This can happen if they are related to the people involved or if they have experienced some form of loss, including business-related loss, due to the accident.

An accident is a big mess in most cases. With the increase in the number of vehicle ownership and population growth, things are becoming increasingly difficult especially when our roads are not growing fast enough to keep up.

Latest predictions of fatal car accidents by all reliable sources are shocking. This happens during the outbreak of the emerging coronavirus (Covid-19) when road traffic is at an all-time low. We highly recommend driving and road safety measures to stay safe during these challenging times.

In the event that you end up getting involved in a car accident case, it is in your best interest to hire a lawyer as soon as possible to get the fair compensation you deserve.
