Kentucky Auto Collisions
Car crashes in Kentucky are a prevalent problem, with approximately 150,000 taking place yearly. These wrecks end in injuries for tens of thousands of people per year. Sadly, hundreds lose their lives. Throughout the US, more than 40,000 individuals are killed per year in crashes across the nation.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that over 90% of auto collisions are caused by negligent drivers. Negligent driving usually causes accidents that are more severe and dangerous than other types of wrecks because the drivers who cause them are often intoxicated, distracted, fatigued, or traveling at unsafe speeds.
