SUMMER CAR ACCIDENT INJURY CASES MOST FREQUENT
Our car accident lawyers have handled hundreds of cases over the past 25 years. People often assume winter is our busy time of year. Yes, the roads are slippery in the winter and there are accidents. However, while there are some serious injury car accidents in the winter, there are more in the summer.
The United States has the most traffic deaths per capita of any developed country, according to a recent Yahoo News article. In 2020, the coronavirus reduced road deaths worldwide because people were forced to stay home. But the U.S. bucked that trend and saw rising traffic deaths. Crashes spiked to a 16-year high in 2021 before a modest decrease in 2022. The article notes that Americans drive many more miles per year that people in most other countries. In addition, other countries put more emphasis on driving safety than we do. For example, drunk driving laws are more strictly enforced and there are lower speed limits.
One obvious reason for more frequent summer crashes is that there are more people speeding. Also, of course, many drivers are distracted by cell phones and other gadgets in the car.
