Weather Related Accidents in New Jersey

According to the New Jersey Department of Transportation, there are approximately 300,000 crashes annually. Often, weather plays a large role in these accidents. On a national scale, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration, more than a million crashes every year are caused by adverse weather conditions. That’s 22% of all vehicle crashes nationwide.

If you or someone you love was injured in a motor vehicle accident caused in whole or in part by adverse weather conditions, contact the New Jersey accident lawyers at Levinson Axelrod, P.A.

Common Weather Conditions That Cause Crashes

Federal transportation statistics cite six main causes of weather related crashes.

  1. Wet Pavement
    By far the most common cause of weather related crashes at 73%, wet pavement causes approximately 907,831 crashes per year nationally.
  2. Rain
    Similar to wet pavement, rainfall also causes a large number of accidents per year, about 573,784 crashes comprising 46% of all weather related accidents.
  3. Snow and Sleet
    Coming in third for the most common causes of weather related crashes, snow and sleet cause approximately 17% of weather related crashes.
  4. Snowy Pavement
    Active snowfall was listed as the number three cause of weather related car crashes, but snow resting on pavement is also dangerous, causing about 14% of all weather related crashes.
  5. Icy Pavement
    Ice on roads and highways can be extremely dangerous, especially the type of ice commonly referred to as “black ice” since it is difficult to detect. Icy roads cause approximately 13% of all weather related crashes.
  6. Fog
    Fog significantly reduces visibility for drivers. Reducing speed is essential to avoid things like rear-end accidents when you can’t see the driver ahead of you. Fog causes 3% of all weather related car crashes.
