ACCIDENT FACTS



 

There is no end to the motor accidents; as a consequence, personal injuries and insurance claims are here to stay. No matter how far we have advanced in designing safe cars, vehicle accidents will pile up because what science can guarantee is only safe cars but not safe drivers.

•  In the United States alone, there are more than 200,500,000 licensed drivers. As of 2003, an average of 7 million motor vehicle accidents is reported, causing well over 3.5 million injuries.

•  Property damage caused by car accidents is $4,900 per second. Damage of $25,000 would be recorded in the time you took to read this fact.

•  Current statistics show that most American drivers have a near motor vehicle accident 1 to 3 times per month and get involved in a collision of some type on the average of every 8 years; these records also indicate that licensed teenagers are 22 times more likely to get a speeding ticket than those who are 60 years of age or older.

•  In 1896 there were only four cars registered in all the United States . Two of them collided with each other in St. Louis .

•  By the year 2025 there will be 33 million people 70 years or older in America . This segment of the population will be growing 2.5 as fast as the total population. They will be responsible for the largest percentage of the "turning left" and "rear end" accidents. Slowly but surely Senior Citizens have developed a higher accident ratio than teenagers. (This will, in time, seriously impact the typical Senior Citizen's pocketbook). And also, by 2025, the total costs for motor vehicle accidents in the United States will exceed 450 billion dollars.

•  The world's most solitary tree located at an oasis in a Desert in Central Africa , was smashed into by a truck.

Statistics clearly reflect that 1 out of every 5 Americans is involved in an alcohol-related car crash and most motor accidents occur on Saturdays and Sundays.

Personal Injury Claims will have to be processed in the light of the following factors also:

•  Even vehicles that proceed at a slow speed of 5 MPH can produce a "whiplash-type" injury.

•  Symptoms arising from an injury sustained in a motor vehicle accident do not necessarily present themselves immediately following an accident.

•  Clinical experience prove that the delay of an injury symptom is the norm.

•  Studies have established that the delay of a symptom does not eliminate the possibility of severe injury.

•  It's been proven that individuals can continue to be symptomatic for many months after a motor vehicle accident - usually 75% of the injured remain symptomatic for a minimum of 6 months after the accident; for 20% of those injured, the symptoms usually increase between the first and second year of the accident.
