Kentucky Car Crashes
There are hundreds of car accidents in Kentucky every day. The state experiences over 100,000 road accidents annually on average. Tragically, many more individuals perish in these accidents, and tens of thousands more suffer injuries. Every year, automobile crashes cause millions of injuries throughout the country. Unfortunately, driving recklessly is behind most of these largely avoidable events.
In the last ten years, negligent driving has grown in popularity in the United States. Distraction, exhaustion, alcohol, and speeding have all grown to be fatal and hazardous factors that contribute to over 94% of traffic accidents in the United States each year.
