Car and motorcycle accidents can be among the most devastating tragedies, and they often happen through no fault of the victim. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in 2015, 35,092 people died on U.S. roadways. That was a 7.2 percent increase over the previous year’s fatalities and the largest percentage increase in almost 50 years.
The fatalities were not limited to certain types of vehicles or situations. Van, SUV, passenger car and pickup truck occupant fatalities all increased, as did motorcyclist and pedestrian fatalities. Drivers accept responsibility for the safety of all others on the road every time they get behind the wheel of a car or motorcycle. But when accidents happen, Wilkes & Associates is here to help.
According to the NHTSA, the number of injuries in vehicle accidents increased to 2.44 million people in 2015.
