Auto Accident Causes – Driver Negligence
Driver negligence is the most common cause of auto accidents. Examples of driver negligence include:
- Distracted driving, including texting, personal grooming, and many other activities
- Intoxication with alcohol, prescription, over-the-counter, or recreational drugs
- Fatigue
- Speeding
- Excessive speed for the driving conditions, even under the speed limit
- Drag racing
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Failure to yield
- Unsafe passing or lane changes
- Failure to signal
- Reckless driving
- Tailgating
Defective Vehicles
A defective vehicle can cause an accident, or it can cause injuries to be more serious in an accident caused by driver negligence or another cause. In either situation, we may be able to collect substantial compensation from one or more of the following:
- Auto maker
- Dealership
- Part manufacturer
- Part retailer
- Rental company
- Repair shop
Defective Roadway
Like defective vehicles, a defective roadway can cause an accident, or contribute to the seriousness of injuries in an accident that has another cause.
Government entities or agencies are responsible for the design, construction, and/or maintenance of most defective roadways. Lawsuits against the government involve different rules and much shorter time limits for taking legal action than lawsuits against individuals and businesses.
In some cases, such as a defective parking lot or parking structure, responsibility falls on the business or property owner, or a third party contracted to maintain the property.
Examples of roadway defects include:
- Dangerous design
- Lack of warning signs
- Malfunctioning traffic signal
- Malfunctioning street light
- Potholes and other damage
- Debris or obstacles which are not removed in a timely fashion
- Crashworthiness defects such as lack of breakaway device on posts and poles
