vehicle accidents/Car
Accidents are the leading cause of brain and spinal cord injury
in the United States, accounting for approximately 60% of traumatic
brain injuries. Motorcycle accidents claim responsibility for about
20% of transportation-related head injuries, and brain and spinal
cord injuries occur to children most often when they are passengers
in motor vehicles. With accident frequency on the rise, and the nature
of accident-related injuries growing more serious, car accidents are
often the subject of personal injury lawsuits and litigation. Current
statistics reveal that fatal automobile crashes average 37,409
per year, with driver fatalities at 25,492 and passenger fatalities
at 10,699. Most of these accidents are caused by simple driver error,
often attributed to a lack of attention being paid to the road, traffic
and surrounding conditions!
After reviewing these shocking statistics, ask yourself a simple question:
What do you do while driving? Do you start your day by returning phone
calls during the morning commute? Maybe you are one of those women
who apply makeup while sitting in traffic, or perhaps you simply review
the headlines on the morning newspaper while in stop and go traffic.
Changing the stations on the car stereo, replacing a CD or cassette,
or sipping a cup of coffee all appear to be seemingly innocent activities
that most of us engage in while driving. However, these are typical
examples of the distractions that effect drivers, often with disastrous
consequences -- automobile accidents are often linked to daily, driver-initiated
distractions.
