The interstates and roadways of Oklahoma, and the nation as well, have become increasingly dangerous places to traverse. Over the years the presence of tractor trailers on the highways have increased and road construction has become the norm. Distracted drivers have made road travel an even more perilous undertaking. Drivers can be distracted by thing such as cell phones, mp3 players, DVD players, navigation systems, and other technological devices that steal away a driver's attention. Individuals may choose to drive while imparied; thereby risking their own lives and the lives of others. While driving has become part of the daily routine and is still enjoyed by many, driving hazards are real and can sometimes have deadly consequences.

In a report published in June 2009 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that there were approximately 5.8 million traffic accidents in the U.S. in 2008. Approximately 99 percent of these accidents were nonfatal. Almost 3 percent of these accidents were injury crashes, and less than 1 percent were fatal crashes. While these percentages seem small, the number of individuals that were killed or injured in auto accidents in 2008 tell a different story. A total of 37,261 individuals died in traffic accidents in 2008 and 2,346,000 were injured. In Oklahoma, 749 traffic related fatalities occurred in 2008 according to the NHTSA.

Car accidents can range from minor fender benders to deadly crashes. Many lives can be changed as the result of a car accident. Unfortunately, car accidents are often the result of another driver's negligence. The negligent driver may have been speeding, driving under the influence, had too many passengers in the car, or simply not paying attention to the road. The consequences of these types of careless and reckless behavior can be devastating. Innocent victims may suffer serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment. Victims of car accidents may be scarred for life both physically and mentally. When a car accident occurs due to another driver's negligence, the negligent driver may be held liable for the accident. The negligent driver may be ordered to compensate the car accident victims for their injuries.
