Traffic Accidents in New Jersey
Motor vehicles throughout the Garden State, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and buses, collide on a daily basis. Tragically, thousands of people are killed or injured yearly in these accidents despite campaigns encouraging safe driving and efforts by officials, automakers, and traffic analysts.
In fact, more than 500 of the over 32,000 annual fatal auto accidents nationwide occurred in New Jersey. What’s more, our state’s transportation authorities reported more than 276,000 auto accidents in New Jersey in a single recent year, injuring almost 60,000 individuals as a direct consequence.
Despite improvements in vehicle safety and roadway maintenance, traffic accidents are on the rise, leaving any and all motorists vulnerable to risk.
