Mississippi Car Wrecks
Car wrecks in Mississippi are not uncommon, happening over 300 times per day, or about 125,000 times per year. These accidents are usually caused by the actions of negligent drivers, though other things also lead to wrecks, like bad weather and car problems. However, driver negligence causes the majority of car crashes in the Magnolia State.
Driver negligence comes in numerous forms, including speeding, intoxication, distraction, and fatigue. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that approximately four out of five car wrecks that happen in the United States are the result of driver negligence. This type of behavior is dangerous and leads to tens of thousands of deaths per year in the United States. A percentage of these deaths happen in the state of Mississippi.
Every year, over 6 million car crashes happen in the United States. Approximately 30% of these wrecks are caused by drivers who are drunk or high. These wrecks wreak havoc on the lives of families throughout the country. When you or someone you love has been hurt by a negligent driver, you deserve to be able to get help when you need it most.
