Kentucky Auto Accidents
Kentucky sees over 400 daily traffic accidents and more than 150,000 reported wrecks per year. More than 25,000 people are hurt in these yearly crashes, while over 700 end up losing their lives. Unfortunately, across the United States, millions of vehicle accidents happen per year that injure millions of people and take the lives of tens of thousands.
Information provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that almost 100% of reported auto accidents are caused by negligent driving. Driver negligence is a serious problem in the US, causing over 5 million reported auto accidents annually.
