Statistics show that rear-end crashes are by far the most commonly reported crash in the nation. New crash data shows that there are more than 1.7 million rear-end accidents in the United States every year. It shouldn't be a surprise that over 87 percent of rear-end accidents are caused by drivers who are not paying attention. That means they may not pay as much attention to the road and may hit another car. Rear-end collisions kill over 1,700 people every year, accounting for almost 7.1 percent of all road deaths. If you or someone close to you gets hurt in a car accident, you should file a personal injury claim and work closely with a skilled legal team to pursue a strong wrongful death case.
