Odds On Fatal Accidents

We’ve all heard the stories that you’re more likely to get hit by lightning (1 in 161,856) than win the Jackpot lottery (1 in 14 million), or that you are more likely to become president of the United States (1 in 10 million) than getting attacked by a shark (1 in 11.5 million), which may sound like nonsense but is statistically true.

Well, here at Accident Claims Advice we thought it would be interesting to see exactly what your lifetime odds of a fatality may be based on reported statistics. From the sad fact that 1 in 7 people will suffer a fatal injury from heart disease or cancer, to 1 in 5,730 people that will accidentally strangle themselves in their sleep. Or compare the fact that water transport is deadlier than air transport by roughly 1 in 7,428 to 1 in 8,015.
