Common Accident Causes
While there can be many different factors that contribute or cause an automotive accident, there are some common causes that appear more frequently than others.
This list includes (but is not limited to):
- Fatigued drivers
- Speed
- Reckless driving
- DUI / DWI
- Texting and driving
- Tailgating
- Failure to obey traffic signals
…. Amongst many others.
It’s worth noting that while bad weather and vehicle malfunction can also contribute significantly to a collision, most accidents are caused by driver negligence.
Types of Collisions
In most instances, a car crash can be categorized into 5 primary types of collisions, with each type potentially being the source of a serious or fatal injury.
This primary list consists of:
- Head on accidents
- Rollovers
- Side impact collisions
- Rear end accidents
- Side swipes (often in hit and run collisions)
Another important factor in a motor vehicle lawsuit is the loss of convenience that is caused by a vehicle needing to be repaired. In most cases, the injury victim will also need to arrange not only the repair of his or her vehicle, but also an alternative means of transport (rental car, friends, bus or other).
Serious Personal Injury Types
Any auto accident has the potential to create a life-changing injury for the accident victim. These types of injuries also not only affect the victim, but also their family and other dependents.
Some of the most frequent injury types include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (T.B.I)
- Whiplash
- Concussion
- Lacerations
- Internal injuries
- Broken bones
- Facial and dental damage
- Spinal cord damage
- Burns
While airbags and other safety devices have been implemented into many vehicles, it’s important to note that these devices can also be the source of injury.
