Car Accidents in Oklahoma

Oklahoma City, OK - Injuries in Auto Accident at I-40 & I-335Many of us have to drive every day in order to get around and go about our normal lives. Unfortunately, the road is sometimes a scary place, and you never really know if or when you will be involved in a life-changing auto accident. Every year, there are more than six million car accidents in the United States, and more than 40,000 people die and almost three million are hurt in these crashes on average. In Oklahoma, most major accidents happen because of drunk driving, speeding, and being distracted. Statistics show that vehicle collisions continue to be the main cause of death and serious injury across the country. To build a strong wrongful death claim after losing a loved one in a terrible car accident, you should work closely with a skilled legal team to achieve the full recovery you are owed. 

Moreover, the risk of a crash increases when a driver speeds. This reckless roadway behavior has been linked to nearly one-third of reported traffic fatalities nationwide in the past 20 years, and Oklahoma motorists have a particular issue with speeding. Speeding makes it much harder to control a motor vehicle, and you will always need much more time to come to a complete stop. This fatal combination has contributed to the deaths of more than 12,000 people nationwide in a recent year, with nearly 33 people dying daily in high-speed collisions.
