Negligence: The Root Cause of Car Accidents
A wide range of factors can cause car accidents, but most can be traced back to a specific instance of negligence. In essence, negligence is a person’s failure to use reasonable care in any situation. For drivers, negligence often takes the form of:
- Distracted driving
- Drunk driving
- Speeding
- Failure to take special precautions under special conditions like nighttime, rain, snow, snow and near schools
- Failure to obey traffic signs and signals
Still other accidents can be caused by defective vehicles. Brake failure, faulty tires or steering failure can compromise a driver’s control of their vehicle, leading to serious and even fatal collisions. The manufacturer of the vehicle or the parts that contained the defect(s) can potentially be held liable for your injuries.
