ersonal Injury Statistics

Every year statistics surrounding accidents and personal injuries are collected and examined. These statistics help government agencies and safety boards to determine the changes to the law and regulations that should be set to help avoid accidents and prevent injury.  Johnson City personal injury lawsuits can occur as the result of auto accidents, workplace accidents, or construction incidents among others, and nationally, leave more than 10,000 Americans permanently disabled every year.

Auto Accidents

Every year more than six million car, truck, and motorcycle accidents occur, resulting in more than three million injuries and 40,000 deaths and making it one of the most common causes of personal injury in the country. The injuries that result from an auto accident may be minor and easily corrected, or severe and permanently disabling.

Accidents on the Job

Workplace accidents caused more than four million personal injuries in 2007 alone. Construction workers had one of the highest incidences of injury, reporting more than 5,000 injuries in a year. This mean that among every one hundred full time employees in the country, five will find themselves involved in and injured by an on the job accident.

Accidents and personal injuries can happen to any one at any time, whether you are young or old. Fatal accidents claimed the lives of nearly 36 out of 100,000 men and women between the ages of 24 and 44 in 2007 alone, making them the age group most affected by fatal personal injury.

For more information about the statistics and facts surrounding personal injuries, contact your local personal injury and accident attorney.
