What causes auto accidents?
Auto accidents may be caused by driver negligence, among many other causes. However, driver negligence is the most common cause of car accidents,
truck accidents,
pedestrian accidents, and
motorcycle accidents throughout the U.S. Following are examples of driver negligence:
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- DUI(driving under the influence)
- Talking on the phone or texting
- Racing
- Violating any traffic law
- Following too closely
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Running a red light or stop sign
Antelope Valley car accidents may also be caused by automotive defects, such as in cases where a defective auto part fails or otherwise causes an accident to occur. In these cases, the manufacturer or distributor of the defective part may be held liable. Our firm also handles cases involving
uninsured motorists,
bicycle accidents,
bus and
taxicab accidents and those incurring
whiplash injuries.
Drunk Driving Accidents
When an individual chooses to get behind the wheel of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, he or she immediately puts their own life in danger in addition to the lives of those around them. Virtually all court rooms will view this type of behavior as driver negligence, due to the fact that the driver failed to keep in mind the safety and well-being of others before climbing into their vehicle. In cases such as this, a victim of a DUI accident will most likely be able to secure compensation if they are able to prove that the other driver was drunk and therefore acting negligently. Other aspects of the accident will be taken into account as well, which is why having a car accident attorney on your case is vitally important. You can secure financial compensation for the damages and injuries that the drunk driver has caused you; call our firm to learn how. Click here to read more about DUI accidents.
In rare cases, poor road conditions may cause an auto accident. A faulty traffic light, poorly designed road or roadway that is improperly maintained may actually cause an auto accident. The victims in these cases may be able to bring a claim against the local government.
