New Mexico and Louisiana top the list of most dangerous states of America: Study
The main reasons for the deaths were identified as homicide, transport accidents, drug overdose, suicides, negligence in treating cardiovascular diseases and an increase in disease mortality rate
According to a recent study conducted by personal injury attorneys, a list has been compiled to determine the most dangerous states to live in the USA. According to the list, New Mexico is the most dangerous state in America, followed by Louisiana.
The most dangerous states of America were categorized in a list. Research using the WHO’s database revealed that mortality rates in the US are 2.5 times higher than the average rates in countries with similar income levels.
The main reasons for the deaths were identified as homicide, transport accidents, drug overdose, suicides, negligence in treating cardiovascular diseases and an increase in disease mortality rate.
A new study by Caputo and Van Der Walde Injury & Accident Attorneys has revealed some decisive factors on which each state is compared, including firearm mortality, railway injuries, traffic fatalities and “crimes against persons” to determine which states are the most dangerous.
