Drunk and distracted driving are leading causes of serious accidents
Drunk driving and distracted driving are among the leading causes of auto accidents today. Drivers who engage in this type of risky behavior endanger the traveling public and create victims by crashing into pedestrians, other vehicles and property. Drivers who are drunk, texting, and talking on cell phones kill, maim and cripple innocent people.
According to NHTSA, 6,627 drunk drivers caused 10,228 car accident deaths nationwide in 2010, accounting for 31 percent of all fatal car accidents, and averaging one death every 51 minutes. Distracted drivers accounted for an estimated 416,000 injuries and 3,092 deaths in 2010, which was 18 percent of all car accidents that led to injuries. Texting and cell phone usage were the biggest factors in those accidents.
And texting and cell phone usage remain among the biggest distracted driving offenders. A single text message diverts a driver’s eyes for 4.6 seconds — think of that as blind-driving the full length of a football field at 55 miles per hour. Because other drivers don’t always pay attention on the road, you need Clarksville car accident attorneys with more than 60 years of combined legal experience who are focused on your negligence claim.
