Common Causes of Car Accidents
Understanding what causes car accidents is the first step in seeking justice. Common factors include:
- Distracted Driving – Texting, phone calls, or other distractions behind the wheel.
- Speeding – Driving above the speed limit or too fast for road conditions.
- Drunk or Impaired Driving – Alcohol and drugs significantly increase the risk of accidents.
- Reckless Driving – Aggressive maneuvers, tailgating, or ignoring traffic signals.
- Weather and Road Conditions – Rain, ice, potholes, or poorly maintained roads.
These accidents can result in injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, or wrongful death.
Your Legal Rights After a Car Accident
