Understanding The Whole Picture

First, we want to give you the statistics for vehicle accidents in New Jersey and then look at how drunk driving factors in.

For the latest reporting year in the state, there were more than 270,000 vehicle crashes reported. Out of those, there were:

  • 61,753 crash injuries
  • 591 crash fatalities

When it comes to injuries in DWI crashes, we find that they are usually more severe than crashes involving non-impaired drivers. This is because drunk drivers tend to operate recklessly at higher rates of speed and rarely slow down before an impact. It is not uncommon for us to see the following injuries in the aftermath of a crash:

Most people only think of medical expenses when it comes to these crashes, but we know that there are many other hidden costs involved. In many cases, a DWI crash victim loses their job and income because they cannot work while they recover from their injuries. This puts an incredible strain on their family’s finances, especially when medical bills are coming in.

  • Crash victims often find themselves in a battle with insurance companies over how much they will get in a settlement.

For the latest full year of data, we know that around 11,000 people are killed each year in the US due to drunk driving incidents (10,874 in 2017). In New Jersey’s latest year of data, 23% of all traffic fatalities were due to drunk drivers.
