Causes of Car Accidents & Bases for Legal Claims
NHTSA reports that nearly 90 percent of all traffic accidents are caused by some type of human error, which could, in turn, be caused by a driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, mechanic or car manufacturer. Examples of human error that can play a role in causing or worsening a car accident include:
- Pedestrians or garbage on roads
- Driver distraction, fatigue, inexperience and/or intoxication
- Improperly stored loads and/or poorly secured cargos
- Poor road conditions
- Reckless driving and/or failure to obey traffic laws
- Vehicle equipment defects or failure
Other, non-human factors that may increase the risk of an auto collision include animals in the road and poor weather. When another party's negligence or recklessness plays a role in causing a car accident, victims may be entitled to seek compensation for their:
- Medical bills
- Treatment costs
- Lost wages during recovery
- Property damage
- Permanent losses and disabilities
- Funeral and burial costs, in the event of a car accident fatality
