Kentucky Car Accidents
The state of Kentucky sees hundreds of thousands of car crashes per year. These accidents are often caused by driver negligence. In fact, in the US, over 90% of reported traffic collisions are caused by the actions of negligent drivers. Driver negligence can be displayed in countless ways, though the most common include intoxication, distraction, fatigue, and speeding. When divers engage in dangerous behaviors like these, they not only risk their safety but also the safety of others around them on the road.
In the past decade, driver negligence has become a serious problem in the United States. Especially with the rise of smartphones, more and more people are taking their eyes off the road and paying more attention to their phones while behind the wheel. This is a hazardous and even deadly decision that takes the lives of over 3,000 people per year.
