There is a motor vehicle accident every 10 seconds of every day in America-over 6,000,000 every year. These car accidents cause over 40,000 deaths and 3,000,000 injuries each year. Some of the car accidents are caused by momentary mistakes or inattention, some by sleepy drivers, others by overly aggressive driving, still others by intoxicated drivers. A surprising number are caused by defects in the motor vehicle (bad tires or brakes), unclear road markers or signs, or road hazards-some of which may be created by sloppy construction. Many car accidents are minor and involve more hassle than heartache, but the serious ones create significant problems for the innocent victims. Medical bills, lost wages, disability and physical incapacity, rehabilitation and future health care may seem insurmountable obstacles. Even figuring out the other driver's insurance company and amount of insurance coverage can be a major problem.

There is a death caused by a motor vehicle crash every 12 minutes; there is a disabling injury every 14 seconds. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for people ages 1 to 33. The age groups most affected by motor vehicle crashes are 15-24 and 75+. There were an estimated 5,800 pedestrian deaths and 90,000 injuries. Walking in the roadway accounted for only 9% of all pedestrian deaths and injuries. About 3 in every 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related traffic accident at some time in their lives. Bicycling resulted in about 800 deaths in collisions with motor vehicles. If you or a loved one is involved in an auto accident or car wreck remember some simple do’s and don’t:
