"A new nationwide study by Shane Smith Law has identified Mississippi as the deadliest state when it comes to uninsured drivers involved in fatal crashes. The findings, based on federal crash data and insurance statistics, show that states with higher uninsured populations face significantly greater risks on the road - both for drivers and for accident victims who may struggle to recover compensation."
"Wyoming placed second, with 22 uninsured drivers involved in fatal crashes per million residents. The state recorded 13 such crashes in total, but its small population magnifies the rate. With 10.7% of residents uninsured, Wyoming ranks sixth overall for insurance gaps. Texas finished third, with 21 uninsured drivers per million residents. More alarmingly, Texas recorded 635 uninsured drivers in fatal crashes - the highest raw number in the U.S. The state also leads the nation with the largest uninsured population percentage at 16.4%."
Mississippi led the nation in 2023 with 69 uninsured drivers involved in fatal crashes, equal to 24 uninsured drivers per million residents.
