Startling Car Accident Statistics Reviewed by Mary Alexander & Associates

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bay Area is being heavily impacted by car accidents, and the attorneys at Mary Alexander & Associates are seeing an uptick in people being injured by cards, trucks, motorcycles, autonomous vehicles and more.

A recent police chase ended with an SUV crashing into a bar in San Francisco, causing the entire firm to take a new look at motor vehicle accidents throughout the region. More than 10 years ago, San Francisco instituted a "Vision Zero" program to lower the number of traffic-related fatalities to zero by 2024…which obviously failed. Over the last 11 years, 347 people have been killed, and another 3,386 have been seriously injured in Bay Area car accidents.

What's more, according to the San Francisco Department of Public Health, every 2.88 hours in San Francisco alone there is a car crash resulting in an injury.

"Eight times per day, someone has been hit and/or injured in the Mission District, Tenderloin, the Financial District or some other part of our beautiful city," said Bay Area motor vehicle accident attorney Mary Alexander. "This has to stop, we must find a way to protect people."

Every year, the City by the Bay loses 40 people to traffic violence. These people include pedestrians, motorcyclists, drivers, as well as people riding bicycles or scooters.

In Oakland, 33 people died in car accidents in 2023, most of which is the result of dangerous driving, including speeding, failing to yield, unsafe turning, running read lights and drunk driving.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there has been an increase in motor vehicle traffic collisions, impacting Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Clara and surrounding regions.

"Anyone impacted by these car crashes must contact a skilled car accident attorney immediately," added Ms. Alexander. "People must fight for their rights if they've been injured and never talk to opposing driver's insurance companies until they talk to a lawyer. Medical bills, car repairs and more can lead to serious debt without a car accident attorney guiding you through the process."

If you've been injured in a car crash anywhere in the Bay Area, contact Mary Alexander & Associates at 866-450-3473.
