Auto Accident Causes

A number of factors can contribute to auto accidents, and even the most seemingly minor fender-benders can have lasting consequences for victims.  Regardless of whether the outcome is a minor fender-bender or a major injury crash, the repercussions can be costly. Some contributors to auto accidents are:

• Bad weather
• Road hazards
• Road rage
• Driver distraction
• Driver fatigue
• Excessive speed
• Drivers failing to observe the rules of the road
• Age and/or inexperience of the driver
• Mechanical defects

Types of Auto Accidents

Auto accidents can take the form of single-car collisions, such as when a car strikes a tree, building, or another structure.  Often, the causes of single-vehicle collisions involve road hazards (such as potholes, construction barriers, or stalled vehicles) or faulty equipment (such as defective brakes, tires, or transmissions).

Multiple-vehicle accidents often involve head-on, rear-end, and/or side-impact collisions.  Liability is frequently disputed by those involved.  Though an individual's personal injury protection may provide the coverage needed to compensate victims of multiple-vehicle accidents, litigation in the event of serious or life-threatening injuries may be necessary to obtain the full and necessary compensation on behalf of victims.

Some of the deadliest auto accidents involve collisions with tractor-trailers, big rigs, or other large commercial trucks.  These vehicles often weigh between 10,000 and 80,000 pounds fully loaded.  Their size makes them difficult for drivers to control, particularly when having to make sudden stops.  State and federal regulations are in place to ensure that drivers and their employers are held to a stringent standard of safety, but unfortunately, these laws are often overlooked or ignored.  This kind of negligence is to blame for many truck accidents and the serious injuries and wrongful deaths they cause.
