Oklahoma Reckless Driving Crashes

Using a phone while driving is quickly becoming one of the main reasons for major car accidents in the United States. Looking down at your phone while driving is obviously very dangerous, but sadly, a lot of drivers in Oklahoma will admit that they do it all the time. A detailed study of Oklahoma car accidents over the past year found that driver distraction was a factor in 1,335 accidents across the state. Reports showed that most distracted driving accidents involving injuries happened to teens and young people between the ages of 16 and 24. Every day, nearly nine people are killed on American roads because drivers aren't paying attention. Many more are badly hurt.

And this isn't a problem only in Oklahoma, but rather all over the US. More than 10,000 people are killed every year by drivers who exceed the speed limit or drive too fast for roadway conditions. This makes up about one-third of all road deaths each year. Even worse, over the past 20 years, speeding has been linked to nearly one-third of national roadway fatalities. Oklahoma City had 203 car crashes in a recent year that were directly caused by speeding motorists.

It is important that you have the help of a trained car accident lawyer to file a solid compensation claim if you or someone close to you is unfairly hurt by a reckless driver.
