What Causes Car Accidents?

There are many different potential causes of car accidents. As personal injury attorneys, we have seen collisions caused by speeding, drunk driving, a distracted driver, poor weather or road conditions and defective auto parts. Virtually any type of negligence on the part of a motorist or any other party on the road may cause a traffic-related accident to occur, leaving one or more people with serious injuries. Some of these accidents lead to the wrongful death of one or more parties involved.

The most frequent causes of car accidents are those related to driver negligence, any failure to act with proper caution or care on the part of a driver. Drunk driving and driving while distracted are similar causes of car accidents in that they involve a driver who is not paying attention to the road or whose mental and/or physical abilities are impaired by alcohol. This may mean that the driver will not notice a change in traffic or an obstacle in the road, may disobey a traffic signal or may swerve out of his or her lane.
