Road accidents are defined as unexpected collisions or crashes involving vehicles, often resulting in injury, death, or property damage. The rise in road accidents is attributed to growing urban congestion and distracted driving, which have escalated alongside the increase in vehicle numbers and smartphone usage. Driver accident insurance helps mitigate the financial impact of road accidents by providing monetary support to drivers when such incidents occur. For example, in August 2025, the International Transport Forum, a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that Australia recorded 1,297 road fatalities in 2024, representing a 4% increase compared to 2023. Consequently, the surge in road accidents is fueling the expansion of the driver accident insurance market.
