Common Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents
Driver error, hazardous conditions, or vehicle defects commonly cause motor vehicle accidents. Understanding these causes is crucial in personal injury claims, as they determine liability and potential compensation for victims.
- Distracted driving, including texting, using a phone, eating, or adjusting in-car controls, is considered negligence and is a firm ground for an injury claim. Evidence can include phone records, witness testimony, and dashcam footage.
- Speeding reduces reaction time and increases crash severity. Liability is more straightforward in proving whether the at-fault driver exceeded speed limits.
- Drunk or drug-impaired driving is clear-cut negligence; victims may seek punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages.
- Other causes can range from reckless or aggressive driving to failure to obey traffic signals, defective vehicles or parts, and poorly maintained road conditions, implicating government entities.
Negligence is the key factor in motor vehicle claims. Unfortunately, as an accident victim, you can face insurance company tactics designed to reduce, delay, or deny the compensation you deserve.
Claimants with legal representation typically recover higher settlements than those who negotiate alone. Insurers take cases more seriously when a personal injury lawyer is involved.
