What are the Main Causes of Car Accidents?

Traffic accidents can have many causes, all of which need to be identified to hold those parties who were responsible accountable. For the most part, human error is the main cause of accidents, such as when a driver fails to obey traffic law. Speeding, rolling through stop signs, running red lights, tailgating, driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, texting while driving, and other forms of negligence all contribute to accidents. However, other factors may have played a part in your accident and the extent of your injuries.

These can include:

  • Road defects and poor maintenance
  • Signage that is not visible or accurate
  • Construction zones not marked appropriately
  • Vehicle defects causing the accident or making your injuries worse

For example, it is now known that Ford knew in advance that rollovers would occur in their SUV vehicles when an engineer revealed that those vehicles should have been engineered with a lower and wider base. Similarly, Jeep sold cars that it knew needed a three-point restraint in the middle back seat. Vehicle defects can include problems with gas lines, brakes, tires, airbags, accelerators, and more. 

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON INJURIES IN A CAR ACCIDENT?

The type and extent of the injuries in an accident depend on the size and weight of the vehicles, the speed at which they were traveling, and whether or not there was any contact with a fixed object such as a tree, post, or guardrail. Common injuries may include:

  • Head injury
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Whiplash
  • Broken bones
  • Cuts and bruises
  • Internal organ damage

  In addition to physical pain and suffering, victims of car accidents may suffer emotional distress as well. They may also suffer from lost wages due to their inability to work, along with their medical bills not being fully covered by insurance. Victims are entitled to compensation for all losses caused by another’s negligence.

Most motor vehicle accident claims involve dealing with insurance companies. It is important to know that these companies are not on your side. They commonly engage in tactics designed to pressure you into quick settlements for less than what your case is worth. That is because their employees work for them, not for you, and their main objective is to keep their company profitable. When you have a personal injury lawyer on your side, the insurer knows that you mean business. Our motor vehicle accident attorneys in Fresno can ensure that your claim is pursued professionally to help you secure maximum compensation.
