Motor vehicle accidents are one of the most common causes of death and catastrophic injury in the United States.  According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 6.3 million police-reported auto accidents occurred in the United States in 2003. Almost one–third of those car accidents resulted in an injury to a driver, passenger or pedestrian and over 38,000 resulted in at least one fatality.

With such staggering statistics, it is no wonder that many believe car accidents will be the primary cause of preventable death over the next several years.

There are many causes of auto accidents, however, almost all of them involve some type of negligence. While driver error is the most common cause, automobile accidents are also caused by defective products such as tires (eg. tread separation), air bags, seat belts or seat backs; negligently maintained street lights; negligently prescribed drugs; negligently serving alcohol to persons who are visibly intoxicated or to minors; negligently performed automotive repairs and negligent automobile maintenance.
