SHOCKING STATISTICS: Who Dies in Crashes Involving Younger Drivers?

Who Gets Killed When Young Drivers Cause Accidents?

Of the 1,142 fatalities caused by young (age 16-25) drivers in Washington state between 2004-2008, over 90% of fatal accident victims were the vehicle driver or their passengers. Pedestrians accounted for just 6.2% of vehicle accident deaths involving a young driver.

Driver deaths 697 (61.0%)
Passenger deaths 357 (31.3%)
Pedestrian deaths 71 (6.2%)
Pedalcyclist deaths 15 (1.3%)
Other Non-motorist deaths 2 (0.2%)

If you have been the victim of a motor vehicle accident caused by a reckless teen driver, or if you have lost a loved one due to a wrongful death caused by a young driver you may need a Seattle car accident attorney to help you get fair compensation for your injuries.  Young drivers are often distracted by talking on a cell phone or texting while driving.
