Alabama Auto Accident

Representing the injured, the wronged and their families

The most recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Safety Administration (www.nhtsa.gov) reported that in 2003 there were 38,252 fatal motor vehicle crashes which resulted in 1,925,000 injuries and 4,365,000 incidences of property damage, totaling 6,328,000 police-reported motor vehicle crashes in a single year. 42,643 men, women, and children were killed in crashes in 2003. 2,889,000 people were injured. There were over 17,000 alcohol-related fatalities in 2003.

As Americans we are raised in a culture which teaches from an early age a dependence on our cars; little is accomplished without access to vehicular transport. We measure our distances not by how long it takes to walk somewhere, but rather how far of a drive it is. 2,890,893,000,000 vehicle miles were traveled in 2003 - more than any other nation on earth. The United States covers 3,718,711 square miles – with that much landmass cars have become a necessity in our daily lives.

Unfortunately, auto accidents are a common occurrence on America’s roadways. The NHTSA’s 6.3 million reported incidents translate into one accident every five seconds. Someone is injured in a crash every 11 seconds. Someone is killed every 12 minutes.
