Accidental Death in Seattle

Life is full of actions with unintended consequences and, sometimes, those consequences can turn deadly.  What follows is a list of the top ten ways that an accidental death can occur:

• Auto accidents.  More than 44,000 deaths per year are the result of a car accident or other collision involving a motor vehicle.
• Falling.  Over 15,000 deaths per year make lawsuits in Seattle common when the falls were caused by the negligence or recklessness of a homeowner, neighbor, employer, or other party.
• Poisoning.  Approximately 9,000 deaths per year are attributed to this type of accident.
• Fire.  More than 3,700 deaths per year occur due to both smoke inhalation and actual exposure to flames.
• Drowning.  Over 3,500 accidental deaths per year happen in swimming pools, boating excursions, or even simply while bathing.
• Choking.  More than 3,200 deaths per year are choking incidents, sometimes on very small and seemingly harmless objects.
• Complications from medical procedures.  About 3,000 deaths per year are the result of people developing secondary infections, organ failure, and other complications after an initial procedure or hospitalization.
• Firearm discharge.  These 1,150 deaths per year are especially tragic where children are concerned—their odds of being shot by a loaded gun are 1 in 5,000.
• Pedestrian fatalities.  Unlike the auto accidents mentioned above, 1,100 deaths per year involve individuals who were never in the ill-fated car to begin with.
• Electrocution.  Some 500 deaths per year occur because of shocks from exposed wires, outlets, downed or damaged power lines, and other types of electric equipment.
