Fatal Automobile Accidents: The CDC states that auto accidents are the leading cause of death for Americans ages 5 to 34. This situation is so serious that the UN General Assembly has proclaimed 2011 to 2020 to be the “Decade of Action for Road Safety.” Annual NJ costs from fatal accidents are estimated to be roughly $650 million.
