Over six million car accidents nationwide

In 2005 in the United States, there were 6,240,000 auto accidents. The financial cost of these crashes is more than $230 billion with 2.9 million people injured and 42,636 people killed. It is estimated that 115 people die every day in vehicle crashes—one death every 13 minutes. In New Jersey in 2007 724 people died in car crashes.

One million people in the United States slip and fall each year According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) over one million people in the United States suffer a slip, trip, or fall injury and more than 17,000 people die annually because of these injuries. Slip, trip, and fall injuries make up 15 percent of all job related injuries, accounting for 12 to 15 percent of all workers compensation expenses.

Hundreds of thousands suffer medical injuries

Harvard researchers found that one percent of a representative sample of patients treated in New York state hospitals in 1984 were injured and one-quarter of those died because of medical negligence. Nationwide that would have translated into 234,000 injuries and 80,000 deaths from negligence in American hospitals. There is currently no clear evidence that there have been any significant improvements.
