Surge in Deadly Car Accidents in 2021: Insights from Zeidwig Law

In 2021, the United States experienced a significant increase in car accident fatalities, with nearly 32,000 deaths recorded in the first nine months alone. Florida accounted for approximately 10% of these fatalities, highlighting a troubling trend on our state's roadways. At Zeidwig Law, we are deeply concerned about this rise and remain committed to supporting victims and their families through expert legal representation.

Contributing Factors to Increased Fatalities

Several factors have been identified as contributors to the surge in deadly car accidents:

·         Increased Risky Driving Behaviors: The post-pandemic period saw a rise in speeding, impaired driving, and failure to use seat belts, all of which significantly contribute to fatal accidents.

·         Higher Vehicle Miles Traveled: As restrictions lifted, more vehicles returned to the roads, increasing exposure and potential for accidents.

National Roadway Safety Strategy

In response to the alarming increase in traffic fatalities, the U.S. Department of Transportation introduced the National Roadway Safety Strategy. This comprehensive plan focuses on:

1.       Safer People: Promoting responsible behavior among road users.

2.       Safer Roads: Designing infrastructure to reduce the likelihood and severity of crashes.

3.       Safer Vehicles: Encouraging the adoption of advanced safety technologies.

4.       Safer Speeds: Implementing measures to manage speed effectively.

5.       Post-Crash Care: Enhancing emergency response to improve survival outcomes.
