Fatality analysis reporting system

How Does the FARS Monitor Traffic crashes & Traffic fatalities?

FARS collects data from various sources, including:

• Police reports
• Medical examiner reports
• State transportation departments

It captures detailed information about each crash, such as the date, time, location of a collision and circumstances surrounding the incident. FARS provides insights into factors like driver behaviors, vehicle types, road conditions, and the use of safety devices.

What is the Purpose of Tracking Motor vehicle crashes?

The goal of the Fatality Analysis Reporting System is to enhance road safety by providing accurate and timely data for analysis. This information helps researchers, policymakers, and safety advocates identify trends, evaluate the effectiveness of existing safety measures, and develop strategies to prevent accidents and reduce fatalities. By identifying common factors and patterns in crashes, FARS facilitates evidence-based decision-making and guides the implementation of targeted interventions.

However, despite the availability of comprehensive crash data and ongoing efforts to improve road safety, auto accidents continue to rise. Several factors contribute to this unfortunate trend. One significant factor is the increase in distracted driving due to the widespread use of mobile devices. Additionally, the growing population, urbanization, and congestion on roads have led to a higher volume of traffic, increasing the likelihood of accidents. Furthermore, factors like impaired driving, speeding, and failure to use seat belts also contribute to the rise in auto accidents.

Am I Required By Law to Hire an Auto accident Attorney?

No. However, if you hire a car accident lawyer after a collision that was not your fault, you can significantly increase your chances of recovering compensation for all accident-related damages.

If you have been involved in an auto accident caused by a negligent motorist, speak with a car accident lawyer at MVP Accident Attorneys. Our car accident attorneys have the expertise and experience necessary to help you recover the compensation you deserve.
