These accidents result in injuries for more than 150,000 individuals, and sadly, thousands of lives are lost.

Negligent driving has become a critical concern across the United States, particularly in recent years. Research indicates that over 94% of reported traffic accidents are linked to driver negligence. Common forms of negligent driving include:
- Intoxication
- Distraction
- Fatigue
- Speeding
In one year alone, unsafe speeds contributed to the deaths of over 12,000 people on U.S. roadways, while distracted driving was responsible for more than 400,000 collisions.
