Leading Causes of Car and Truck Accidents
Distracted Driving
Failing to focus on the road due to texting, eating, or using a device is one of the top causes of accidents, leading to delayed reactions and mistakes.
Speeding
Exceeding the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of collisions, often causing preventable injuries.
Driving Under the Influence
Operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs compromises judgment, coordination, and the ability to drive safely.
Reckless Driving
Aggressive behaviors like tailgating, weaving, or ignoring traffic laws often result in dangerous situations and accidents.
Weather Conditions
Rain, fog, and ice create hazardous driving conditions, reducing visibility and making roads slippery, often leading to crashes.
Failure to Yield
Not yielding the right of way at intersections or merging lanes can cause serious accidents, especially in high-traffic areas.
Running Red Lights
Ignoring traffic signals or stop signs often leads to high-speed collisions in intersections, endangering all involved.
Driver Fatigue
Drowsy driving reduces focus, reaction time, and decision-making abilities, making it as dangerous as driving under the influence.
Compensation
Medical Expenses
Current, reasonable hospital bills, therapy, ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, medications, and future medical needs related to your accident.
Lost Wages and Future Earning Capacity
Compensation for the income you missed while recovering or due to an inability to work, as well as the compensation you would have been able to earn in the future but for the injuries sustained.
Pain and Suffering
Addresses the emotional trauma and physical pain and suffering caused by the accident and its aftermath.
