Poor visibility is a significant factor in many car accidents, particularly during adverse weather conditions. According to data from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), over 38,700 traffic accidents occur annually during foggy conditions, leading to more than 16,300 injuries and over 600 fatalities each year. These statistics highlight the dangers of driving in low-visibility situations such as fog, heavy rain, and snow (Holley, Rosen & Beard, LLC).

Additionally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that approximately 40,990 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2023, with a notable portion of these fatalities likely influenced by poor visibility and inclement weather conditions. Visibility issues can significantly impair a driver's ability to see the road and react to potential hazards (NHTSA).

In Jacksonville, Florida, for example, poor visibility has been identified as a contributing factor in many accidents. In 2023 alone, there were 519 crashes causing 33 fatalities and 444 injuries, with poor visibility being one of the risk factors exacerbating these incidents (Baggett Law Personal Injury Lawyers).
