Car Accidents in West Virginia
Roads are a part of our lives, and most of us have to drive every day to get from point A to point B. Unfortunately, the road is far from safe, and many people in our great state are unfairly hurt in car accidents each year. In 2021, 281 people died in car accidents in West Virginia. Across the state that year, 1.572 deaths were reported for every 100 million miles driven. Not only that, but West Virginia reported 20.56 deaths for every 100,000 people on average in the past five years. In a recent year, 906 people were seriously hurt in car accidents across the state. Three times as many people die on country roads in West Virginia as on interstates. No matter how you were hurt, if a reckless driver is to blame, you should consult with an experienced legal team to make sure your legal rights are upheld.
