Auto Accident Causes

Auto accidents occur for many reasons – some of which may be unavoidable or unpredictable. However, many other auto accidents are caused by the negligence or recklessness of a driver involved. Some of the most common causes of these accidents include:

Speeding
Distracted driving
Driving under the influence (DUI)
Disobeying traffic signs or signals
Fatigued driving
Failing to yield the right of way
Driving inappropriately for weather or road conditions

These causes of auto accidents directly related to the actions (or lack thereof) of a driver. Such behaviors are considered negligent, and may also be illegal.

If you were injured in an auto accident caused by another driver’s negligence, such as these examples, then you may be entitled to compensation through a personal injury claim.

Personal Injury Claim Information

Unlike a standard insurance settlement, a personal injury claim can help you recover damages for more than just property damage or medical expenses. A personal injury claim could help you recover financially for:

Medical expenses
Lost wages
Pain and suffering
Disfigurement
Permanent disability

In order to qualify for a personal injury claim, you must be able to prove:

That the other driver had a duty of care in operating his or her vehicle
That the driver was negligent and breached that duty
That the breach of duty caused the accident and your injuries
That the injuries caused you monetary losses

In order to prove these elements, you need the help of an experienced auto accident lawyer who knows how to review every detail of your accident and build a strong case. That is why you should contact Herrera Law PC. Building strong cases and getting results is what we do best.
