The Hidden Toll of Negligence: Exploring the Rise in Preventable Accident Fatalities
Every year, far too many families lose someone to accidents that never should have occurred. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) annually gathers data about injury-related deaths. In 2014 alone, there were:
- 135,928 deaths caused by unintentional injury
- 31,959 deaths caused by unintentional falls
- 33,736 deaths caused by motor vehicle traffic accidents
Automotive accidents account for a disturbingly large number of deaths. The CDC numbers can be supplemented by statistics from the National Safety Council (NSC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating preventable deaths. Their research reveals that negligence and recklessness continue to cause unacceptable car accidents.
The NSC surveyed eligible adults about their driving behavior, and many people indicated that they engage in dangerous habits. For example:
- 64% of people said they were comfortable driving at speeds exceeding the posted limit
- 47% of people said they were comfortable texting while driving
- 13% of people said they were comfortable driving while impaired by marijuana
- 10% of people said they were comfortable driving after having too much alcohol
Statistically, the number of drivers who consider it acceptable to operate a vehicle while impaired, distracted, exhausted, or angry contributes to the number of crashes. The NSC records that there were 40,200 motor vehicle deaths in 2016. That’s a 6% increase from the 37,757 deaths in 2014.
