Kentucky Auto Accidents
Kentucky car wrecks happen daily. On average, approximately 150,000 car wrecks are reported yearly. Approximately 25,000 of these result in injuries, and more than 700 result in death. Sadly, the majority of these wrecks are preventable and caused by negligent drivers.
Driver negligence causes the majority of auto collisions in the United States and across the state of Kentucky. Yearly, more than 90% of car wrecks reported in the United States are caused by negligent driving. Drivers who get behind the wheel while distracted, intoxicated, fatigued, or while traveling at unsafe speeds risk their own lives and risk the lives of everyone on the road.
Unlawful and negligent driver behaviors put many people in harm’s way in the United States. When drivers act inattentive and careless, the chances of them causing someone serious or even fatal injuries are, unfortunately, extremely high.
Some examples of negligent driving that may result in severe crashes include drunk, distracted, or fatigued driving.
