Statistics, Causes, and Factors of Motor Vehicle Accidents

Millions of people are seriously injured in motor vehicle accidents every year. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, every 10 seconds someone in the U.S. is involved in a car, truck, motorcycle, bus, or boating accident. These types of accidents continue to be the leading cause of injury and death in the nation for individuals ages three to thirty-three. Whether the vehicle is a car, motorcycle, scooter, tractor trailer or semi-truck, we can help.

Courts look to a number of factors in determining whether a driver has been negligent:

  • The driver could have been going too fast or too slow.
  • The driver could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
  • The driver may have failed to signal while turning.
  • The driver may have failed to pay attention to inclement weather or traffic conditions.
  • The driver may have disobeyed traffic signs or signals.
  • The driver may have failed to drive on the correct side of the road.

The bottom line is that a negligent driver can cause you serious harm and needs to be held accountable for his or her actions. Calling an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after an accident can greatly increase your chances of obtaining the maximum compensation.
