Keeping yourself and loved one safe sometimes requires more than healthy living. According to the National Safety Council’s Injury Facts, the three most common causes of death are all health related, but many other common causes are related to personal injuries and accidents.<\/p>\n

As a North Charleston personal injury lawyer, I find this list of statistics on fatal and nonfatal accidents worldwide very interesting. Review the most recent list, published in the\u00a02010 edition, reviewed data collected in 2008, according to news reports.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Heart disease 1 in 6 people<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cancer 1:7<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stroke 1:28<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Motor vehicle accidents 1:85<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Self-inflicted harm 1:115<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Accidental poisoning\u00a0 1:139<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Falls 1:184<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Car occupant incident 1:272<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Firearm assault 1:300<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0\u00a0 Pedestrian incident 1:623<\/p>\n

11.\u00a0\u00a0 Motorcycle accident 1:802<\/p>\n

12.\u00a0\u00a0 Accidental drowning 1:1,073<\/p>\n

13.\u00a0\u00a0 Exposure to smoke, fire, flames 1:1,235<\/p>\n

14.\u00a0\u00a0 Bicycle accident 1:4,147<\/p>\n

15.\u00a0\u00a0 Air and space transport accident 1: 5,862<\/p>\n

While the statistics may be scary to look at, it’s important to pay attention to potentially avoidable incidents that could be fatal, including car accidents and dog bites, which made the list at #23. As a North Charleston personal injury lawyer<\/a> , I urge people to drive safely, be a cautious pedestrian and bicyclist and help protect children from dangers like drowning.<\/p>\n

If you or a loved one has been injured in a personal injury accident, contact a personal injury lawyer in North Charleston<\/a> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
