New Jersey Motorcycle Accidents
Every year, the United States sees more than 6 million traffic accidents. Regrettably, approximately 3 million people suffer injuries in these annual wrecks, while over 40,000 lives are lost yearly. In New Jersey, hundreds of thousands of car crashes happen per year that cause tens of thousands of injuries and thousands of fatalities. Unfortunately, the majority of these collisions happen due to negligent driving.
When motorcyclists become involved in traffic accidents, they almost always suffer serious injuries due to traveling with little to no protection. Each year, more than 6,000 motorcyclists lose their lives in the United States. Sadly, over half of these wrecks happen because of driver negligence. Drivers demonstrate negligence in countless ways, including intoxication, fatigue, speeding, and distraction. At this time, intoxication and distraction are the most common types of negligent driving in the Garden State.
Distracted driving is behind more than 400,000 car accidents in the United States each year. More than 3,000 people lose their lives in these dangerous accidents. With the advent of smart phones, people have more reason than ever to become distracted behind the wheel. This is one of the most dangerous things a driver can do, and risks their life and the lives of everyone whom they may encounter on the roadway.
