On the open road, there's always a chance of an accident, and you can't be sure what another driver will do. More than six million car accidents happen every year in the United States. Collisions are the primary cause of death and serious injury nationwide. Tens of thousands of people die, and almost three million are hurt by car accidents each year on average. Some of the most common things that cause major accidents in Oklahoma are speeding, driver distraction, and intoxication. A lot of traffic deaths involve people who are not wearing a seatbelt. It's important that if you were hurt by a careless driver, you can get full compensation by filing a strong personal injury claim with the help of a reputable legal team.
