Crash Rates in Mercer County, NJ Still High

· Jun 8, 2012 ·

It would come as no surprise to our Trenton, NJ auto accident lawyers to hear that you or someone you know was involved in a car crash in 2011. We are not being callous; it’s all in the numbers.

According to data gathered by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, in 2011, 14,067 car accidents occurred on the streets and roads of Mercer County, NJ.  During these crashes, 2,828 people were injured. In Mercer County and across the state, 554 accidents caused at least one fatality in 2011.

Mercer County, NJ Crash Rates Remain Steady

Data from the NJ DOT is available beginning in 2001. That year, 14,933 auto accidents were reported, compared to 14,067 last year. As you can see, the number of accidents that occur in Mercer County have hardly changed. In fact, since 2001 there were only two years in which over 15,000 accidents were reported.

As personal injury attorneys in Mercer County, we are glad that at the very least, accident rates have remained steady. But we can’t help but wonder: why have they not decreased?

One would think that with new technology and extensive safety campaigns, people would be driving better, and that accidents would be happening less often.  But this is clearly not the case.

What We Can Do to Prevent Car Crashes in New Jersey

To make real, effective changes, we must alter the way we look at driving. In today’s world of cell phones, laptops and on-the-go lifestyles, drivers are more distracted than ever. In order to fight this, it’s crucial that you and I work to limit distractions while driving. Don’t just put the phone down—leave it in your purse or out of reach. Try and ensure that children have the items they need before you hit the road.

Together, we can make a real difference in the number of car accidents in Mercer County and across New Jersey.

Have you been injured during a car accident in Mercer County? There is something you can do to ensure that you get the compensation you need to move on with your life. Do not settle for less than you deserve. Call 800.860.5801 today and schedule a free consultation with one of our stellar New Jersey personal injury attorneys.
