Car Crashes: The Deadly Statistics

In trying a Houston car accident case, it is important to impress upon the jury the significant risks caused by drivers who drive their car in a negligent manner.  It is statistically inevitable these drivers will cause a car crash one day.  Many people are seriously injured or killed each year in Houston automobile crashes. Negligent Houston drivers needlessly endanger you, and your children every day, many of them due to drinking and driving. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, (NHTSA) there are about 6,000,000 car accidents in the United States every year. About 40,000 folks are killed, and about 3,000,000 injuries in car accidents. According to NHTSA’s math, about 115 people die every day in car accidents–about one every 13 minutes.
