• NHTSA Says August is Deadliest Month for Car Crashes in Indiana
  Aug 18, 2011

  If you are taking a road trip this month, drive carefully. According to a news story on Fox 59, the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that August is the deadliest month when it comes to car crashes in the United States.
  
  Considering this, when you are taking to the roads in Indianapolis at the end of this summer, you should use extra precautions since more people die in car crashes in the month of August than any other month of the year.
  
  NHTSA reports that in 2009 an average of 93 people a day died as a result of a car crash. They say that the risk of a fatal crash is increased in the month of August due to the high number of people that take to the roads.
  
  There are more teenagers and inexperienced drivers on the road.  Also, with the omnipresence of digital technology, it is likely there will be more distracted drivers all around you.
  
  If a loved one has been fatally injured as a result of someone else's carelessness or recklessness in a car accident, you should seek legal counsel. An Indianapolis personal injury attorney is able to carefully evaluate the details of your case to determine if you have a valid claim worth pursuing for the consequences of your lost loved one.
