My family and relative's luck with car accidents

I have no idea what the hell is going on, but we have some really shitty luck with car accidents.

About 2 months ago, my cousin had her tire blow out on the highway while going @ 60 MPH. She couldn't regain control of her car after the blowout and ended up grinding against the middle divider. Her car was totaled. Something like $9k in damage.

The very next day after that, I get into an accident. It was my fault, since I was being an idiot. I ended up losing control of my car on an on ramp and smacked right into the curb. I cracked 2 wheels (some strong ass wheels too) and bent a suspension component. About $2.6k in damages.

Faster forward to yesterday and my aunt gets into a car accident. She was making a left turn on a pretty dangerous intersection here in town. You can't see the cars coming in front of you until they are right there in your face. Some SUV came out of nowhere and hit her car as she was making the left turn. No one was hurt. The SUV sustained about $700 in damages (Just needs a new front bumper) and my Aunt's car has a good $3k-$4k. It's probably another car that's going to get totaled.

And today, my cousin hits a fucking deer on her way to Philadelphia. I haven't seen the car yet, but it seems like the whole front end is fucked up. It kind of sucks too because she just got the car about 3 weeks ago.

What in the hell are the odds that we get into accidents one right after another? It makes absolutely no sense in my mind. Every time one of our relatives or family members get into a car accident, we make sure to drive carefully since it freaks all of us out a bit, but we still get into accidents.

Edit - Please don't say any "You should be thankful no one got hurt" responses as a way to insult me. I am thankful no one got hurt. That really should go without saying.

Bad luck? Yes. But the odds of an accident are actually not that low. My car was damaged a few weeks ago while it was parked... don't even know who did it. Few days later I find a small scratch on my other bumper. Etc.

Also the one where you were being silly probably shouldn't count lol

Much more important is that nobody in your (or my) case was seriously injured.

You guys sound pretty lucky to still be alive. Maybe you're bad drivers by genetics.

It probably shouldn't count, but I'll count it anyway =P. I think the most anyone's been injured is a bruise so yeah, we're really lucky on that. I'm just wondering though, what are the odds two of us getting into an accident with a day of each other? Just something that crossed my mind.

I don't think we're bad drivers. 2 of the people who got into accidents (my cousin/aunt) had already gone 4 years and almost 22 years, respectively, with no accidents what so ever. Hell, I know I don't consider myself a bad driver. I'm going to chalk up my accident to just trying to play around on a turn I wasn't familiar with .

I just got back from seeing my cousin's car and it's not so bad, but still pretty shitty. Needs a new front bumper and a new hood. That's a good chunk of change right there.

You should be thankfull no one got hurt, car inssurance has its purpose. The only hassle is getting it repaired.

You honestly deserve the "No one got hurt" responses. You're crying about something car insurance can fix. My mother has been in two car accidents where, in each, she almost died and had to spend several months in the hospital and was very nearly paralyzed. No fault on her end. Even now she can't live without inhaling heavy painkillers like they're candy. Think about that when you talk about luck.
