Motor Vehicle Accidents

Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents - Injury Attorneys

Automobile accident fatalities may be on the decline due to the rise in gas prices but statistics still indicate that on an average, more than six million motor vehicle accidents occur on U.S. roads each year. Three million people are injured with more then 50% of the injuries having permanent repercussions. Insurance companies are aware of these trends, too. In order to reduce the amount of money paid out in claims each year, insurers employ their own experts in order to question the extent of a claimant's injuries and the causes of an accident. That's why establishing a balance of power in the courtroom is essential in auto accident cases. At The Nation Law Firm, our lawyers work with a team of experts in reconstructing accidents, determining their cause, and holding negligent drivers financially responsible for the injuries caused by them.

Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents

While car, truck and motorcycle accidents each have their own specific issues, the causes of each tend to be similar. The top causes of motor vehicle accidents include the following:

• Excessive Speeding
• Driver Fatigue / Falling Asleep at the Wheel
• Driving Under the Influence of Drugs or Alcohol
• Talking or texting on cell phones
• Poor Roadway Maintenance
• Equipment Failures
• Flawed Roadway Design

Automobile Accidents - A Leading Cause of Teen Deaths

Motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of death in teenagers. Contributing factors to teen driving deaths include lack of experience, distracted driving, excessive speed, aggressive driving, not using seat belts, driving while drowsy, drunk driving, drug use and "dare-devil" activities like racing and/or weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds. At The Nation Law Firm, we represent clients in wrongful death cases involving teen drivers. When alcohol or reckless endangerment is involved, we look at the terms of a teen driver's policy, as well as the victim's, in order to recover damages proportional to our client's loss.
