While there can be many contributing factors to an auto accident, the reality is that most collisions are caused by negligent drivers and could have been prevented.
It’s unfortunate that despite recent advancements in automotive safety devices like automatic braking, lane changing sensors and other accident avoidance technology, human error is still a dominant factor in almost all serious auto accidents.
Car accidents are most frequently caused by:
- Texting and Driving
- Driver Distraction
- Speeding
- Driver Fatigue
- DUI / DWI
- Reckless Driving
- Mechanical Failure
- Failure to Yield
Many of these collisions can result in serious physical damage to vehicle occupants, while also causing significant property damage and loss.
