Mississippi Car Wrecks
Every day, hundreds of traffic accidents happen in the state of Mississippi. A percentage of these accidents end in injuries for involved parties. On average, over 300 car crashes are reported per day in Mississippi. Per year, over 125,000 car crashes are reported in the Magnolia State that injure over 55,000 individuals. Sadly, over 1,000 people lose their lives in these wrecks. Some of the most commonly seen injuries that result from these collisions may include:
- Internal organ damage
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
Being severely injured in a traffic accident can be exhausting, difficult, and stressful. When you sustain serious injuries in a car crash, your financial, physical, and mental states may all feel as if they are being threatened at the same time. This is not a desirable position to find yourself in.
Alarmingly, the majority of the car crashes reported in the United States are caused by the actions of negligent drivers. Over 4 million people are hurt in car crashes in the United States per year, and, over half of these are caused by driver negligence. Negligent drivers cause more auto accidents than bad weather and car problems combined. The majority of these accidents are caused by three forms of driver negligence:
- Speeding
- Distraction
- Intoxication
