Driving is a vital part of almost every American’s lives, but it’s also among the most dangerous – according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), car accidents cause millions of injuries every year, and 37,461 died because of injuries sustained in a car accident in 2016 alone. Even minor crashes can seriously affect a victim’s mental state for years, and serious injuries can permanently affect their lives, both mentally and physically.
