Motor Vehicle Accidents Continue to Be a Major Cause of Injuries and Deaths

Despite safety advances in automotive technology, motor vehicle accidents continue to be a major cause of injuries and deaths. As more bike lanes and pedestrian plazas are cropping up, making life in the city easier for cyclists and pedestrians, drivers are being forced into uncomfortably congested roads with fewer lanes for vehicular traffic. This increases the chance of a driver mistake or inattention causing a collision resulting in serious injuries.

Distracted Driving is a Major Cause of Collisions

We urge all drivers to avoid distracted driving, which is a leading cause of car accidents in New York and around the country. Drivers are much more likely to cause a serious accident if they engage in distracted driving, such as:

Talking on a cell phone while driving
Texting while driving
Shifting attention to passengers or pets in the car
Eating or drinking while driving
Applying make-up while driving
Staring at the GPS, entertainment system, or other video display in your car

While these all represent distractions that take place within the vehicle, exterior distractions can also cause accidents. These include looking at objects outside the car, staring at traffic accidents, or studying street signs or maps while lost. We urge all motorists to avoid distractions while driving, since your primary focus should be on operating your vehicle. The New York Department of Motor Vehicles reports that 47,719 of the car accidents in New York were the result of driver distraction or inattention. Distraction was a factor in 18.6 percent of all motor vehicle accidents that year—greater than any other factor measured, including speeding and drunk driving. Nearly half of these distracted-driver accidents resulted in injury or fatality.
