New Jersey Car Accidents
It can be overwhelming and scary to sustain injuries in a car accident. If you or a beloved member of your family has recently been injured in a collision, you are not alone. More than 3 million people are hurt in car crashes yearly across the country. Most of these people become injured due to driver negligence. Negligent driving has turned into a problematic issue in the United States, especially over the past ten years.
American drivers display many different types of negligent driving, which include intoxication, speeding, distraction, and fatigue. These kinds of negligent behaviors are entirely dangerous and can even turn fatal. Every year, more than 400,000 car wrecks happen because of driver distraction in the US. Drivers who allow themselves to stare at their phones while behind the wheels of moving vehicles risk the lives of everyone on the road, including their own.
