The numbers behind car accident cases in the United States are shocking, to say the least. One study found that the number of fatal car accidents in the country had increased by more than 16% from 2018 to 2022.
In 2021 alone, there were about 6.1 million car accidents in the country, 39,508 of which were fatal. Even more shocking is the fact that a National Safety Council study found that car accidents were the leading cause of death for people aged between 1 and 54.
On average, at least 100 people lose their lives to car accidents daily in the United States. The year 2021, in particular, had one of the highest daily average cases of car accident deaths; about 118 people lost their lives every day that year.
