Car Accidents in New Jersey
Any time you share the road with a reckless driver, there’s a risk of being hurt in an unexpected and serious collision. Statistics show that car accidents remain the leading cause of death and serious injury in New Jersey and across the United States.
In 2022, 42,514 people died in car accidents in the United States. Around 2.38 million people were hurt in the United States that year, with car crashes expected to have caused $340 billion in total costs.
In New Jersey, car accidents remain a significant public safety concern. According to the New Jersey State Police, there were 603 fatal crashes in the state in 2023, resulting in 635 deaths. The primary contributing factors include speeding, distracted driving, and impaired driving. Urban areas, especially counties like Essex and Middlesex, tend to experience higher accident rates due to heavy traffic and dense populations. New Jersey also faces frequent highway incidents, particularly along major routes like the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike.
The state has implemented several measures to improve road safety, including increased enforcement of traffic laws and public awareness campaigns. In 2024, New Jersey strengthened its distracted driving laws, imposing higher fines and stricter penalties. Additionally, infrastructure improvements and expanded use of traffic cameras aim to reduce collisions. Despite these efforts, drivers are urged to remain cautious and follow traffic laws to prevent accidents and save lives.
