Kentucky Car Wrecks

Kentucky car accidents happen every single day. On average, the state sees approximately 150,000 traffic collisions per year. Approximately 25,000 of these end in injuries and over 700 end in fatalities. Unfortunately, most of these crashes are preventable and caused by the negligent actions of drivers. 

Driver negligence has become the main cause of the majority of car accidents in the United States and throughout the state of Kentucky. Each year, more than 90% of reported car accidents in the United States are caused by negligent driving. Drivers who choose to operate their vehicles while distracted, intoxicated, exhausted, or at unsafe speeds put their own lives at risk 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, especially pedestrians and cyclists. When drivers act inattentive and careless, the chances of them causing someone serious or even fatal injuries are, unfortunately, extremely high. 

Some examples of driver negligence that may cause severe accidents include distracted, drunk, or fatigued driving. If you lost someone you love in a pedestrian accident caused by a negligent driver, you deserve to be able to focus on the grieving process and the emotional health of your family without worrying about your finances.
