Mississippi Car Crashes
Auto wrecks are not an uncommon occurrence in Mississippi, happening hundreds of thousands of times per year. Tens of thousands of people are injured in these accidents every year while thousands lose their lives. What causes the majority of the auto crashes that occur in the United States is currently driver negligence.
Driver negligence is responsible for over 90% of the auto collisions reported in the United States. Drunk drivers, sleepy drivers, speeding drivers, and distracted drivers cause millions of auto accidents every year. These accidents injure and take the lives of millions throughout the United States. When you’re injured in a negligent driving accident, you may have legal options available to help you recover. Speaking with an auto accident attorney is your best bet in successfully filing a personal injury claim for compensation so you can pay for the costs related to your accident.
Negligent driving is dangerous and selfish. Over 400,000 auto accidents are caused by driver distraction per year, while approximately 3,000 people lose their lives because of distracted drivers per year. Choosing to pay attention to anything else other than the road in front of you while you’re behind the wheel of a vehicle is dangerous and destructive.
