If their car accident was the result of someone acting carelessly or recklessly, it can be even harder to move on.

The number of fatal car accidents keeps going up

As sad as it is to say, the truth is that fatal car accidents are becoming more common across the United States. Experts who study traffic trends say that the likely cause is the increase in distracted driving. Believe it or not, more fatal accidents are now attributed to distracted drivers than drunk drivers. Distracted drivers include those who are texting, talking on their phone, changing their radio station, etc.

While drunk drivers are often held accountable for their actions, there are currently no criminal penalties for distracted drivers that are as serious as those for drunk driving.
