Common Causes of Auto Accidents

Car accidents can occur for a variety of reasons:

• Distracted Driving: Texting, talking on the phone, eating, or using in-car entertainment systems can divert a driver’s attention from the road.
• Speeding: Driving over the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of collisions.
• Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, coordination, and reaction time, making it dangerous to operate a vehicle.
• Reckless or Aggressive Driving: Tailgating, frequent lane changing, and ignoring traffic rules put others at risk.
• Poor Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, snow, and ice can make roads slippery and reduce visibility, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
• Vehicle Defects: Faulty brakes, tire blowouts, or malfunctioning safety features can contribute to crashes.

Injuries Resulting from Auto Accidents

Auto accident injuries can range from mild to severe, impacting victims physically, emotionally, and financially.

• Whiplash and neck injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Broken bones and fractures
• Internal injuries and organ damage
• Psychological trauma, including PTSD

Steps to Take After an Auto Accident

If you are involved in a car accident, taking the right steps can help protect your health and legal rights:

• Check for Injuries: Ensure everyone is safe and call 911 if emergency medical assistance is needed.
• Contact Law Enforcement: A police report can provide an official record of the accident, which is essential for legal claims.
• Gather Evidence: Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any injuries. Collect contact and insurance information from the other driver.
• Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel fine, some injuries may not be immediately apparent. A medical evaluation can document any injuries.
• Contact an Auto Accident Lawyer: Before dealing with insurance companies, consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to ensure your rights are protected.
