What Are the Causes of Car Accidents?
Every auto accident is
unique, and the specific circumstances of each wreck will dictate the finding of
liability in the wreck. However, the accident lawyers at The Cochran Firm
understand that the basic cause of most accidents is simple: negligence.
There are some accidents where no one is really at-fault.
However, in the vast majority of these wrecks someone made an avoidable mistake
to cause the crash. And when the accident results in injuries and financial
hardship, it’s reasonable to expect the negligent party to provide some
compensation.
Common causes of car accidents include:
- Speeding
- Other forms of reckless driving
- Distracted driving, especially texting while driving
- Failure to account for weather or road conditions
- Fatigue
- Defective vehicles
- Refusal to share the road with motorcycles, bicycles or pedestrians
Of course, this isn’t an exhaustive list. There are a
tragically large number of ways for a driver to behave negligently.
Our accident lawyers are equipped to investigate your
accident and determine its cause. We know what negligence looks like and how to
prove it in court.
If you’ve been hurt in an accident that was caused by
someone else’s mistakes and need an experienced accident lawyer to fight for
you, please contact
