Following are a few of the leading causes of car accidents throughout the United States:

• Driver Negligence – when someone does something or fails to do something, and this constitutes a failure to provide proper caution or care in the circumstances, this may be considered negligence. In car accident cases, this may include such conduct as driving while distracted, texting while driving, talking on the phone, speeding, driving drunk or reckless driving.
• Dangerous Roadways – a poorly maintained or improperly designed road, bridge, intersection or highway may have the potential to cause a serious accident. Lack of proper signage or an improperly posted speed limit may also cause car accidents to occur.
• Defective Auto Parts – defective or dangerous automobile parts may not only cause an accident to occur but may also contribute to the severity of a collision. Our firm handles cases of this kind that relate to defective seat belts, airbags, brakes, tires, electrical systems, car doors and more.
• Heavy Weather – weather, such as heavy fog, rain, snow or ice may cause car accidents to occur. The likelihood of an accident in heavy weather is increased in the presence of driver negligence, a dangerous road or defective auto part.
