Causes of Car Accidents

Many people suffer serious injuries or lose their lives after being victims of car accidents. 

When you need legal assistance from a car accident lawyer so that you can recover the losses that you have endured, you can rely on a car accident lawyer from John K. Zaid & Associates. They understand the unique needs of car accident victims and are committed to providing their services. Unfortunately, many car accidents happen due to driver error. Here are some of the most common causes of car accidents that a lawyer often sees when they work on accident cases. 

Drunk Driving

Each year, many fatalities occur because of driving under the influence offenses. It is illegal to drink and drive, even if a victim feels “buzzed” and their blood alcohol content (BAC) is not recorded as above the legal limit. It doesn’t take much alcohol to affect a driver’s senses. Drinking clouds a driver’s ability to react to hazards, judge distance, and safely control their vehicle, so drinking any amount of alcohol is risky. Drivers are responsible for sobering up before they get behind the wheel or finding a ride to their destination. 

Distractions

From text notifications and disruptive passengers, there are many kinds of distractions that can interfere with a driver’s focus on the road. When you are operating a vehicle, you need to keep your attention on your surroundings. Some drivers willingly get distracted by texting and driving because they think they can keep enough attention on their driving. However, being distracted at the wrong time can still result in a catastrophic accident.

Reckless Driving

In legal terms, reckless driving refers to a wanton or willful disregard of the consequences of dangerously driving a vehicle, putting the lives of individuals at risk. Examples of reckless driving include violations such as speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, and street racing. Reckless driving is a serious charge, and can result in penalties such as jail time and the loss of your driver’s license. 

Understanding the causes of car accidents can help you be better prepared the next time you drive a vehicle. Being mindful of your own driving habits can help you avoid the worst of injuries. If you are seeking quality legal representation after being a car accident victim, talk to a lawyer who can help you maximize your settlement amount. When you are an accident victim, you should not be left to deal with the aftermath alone. Call a trusted car accident lawyer now for help with your claim.
