While every car accident claim is unique, driver negligence is often the underlying issue. If a motorist who failed to uphold their responsibility to your safety leaves you injured in a car accident, pursuing the compensation to which you are entitled is critical to your recovery. An experienced Mercer County car accident lawyer at Conlon Tarker P.C. recognizes the challenges you’re facing and is well-prepared and well positioned to help.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
Car accident claims are based on negligence, and while every claim is specific to its own set of circumstances, they are often based on primary forms of driver negligence.
Distraction
When motorists take to our roadways, they accept the primary responsibility of paying attention to traffic around them and to the road ahead. While every form of distraction is dangerous, texting is widely considered the deadliest distraction of all.
Impairment
Drunk drivers experience physical, cognitive, and even sensory impairments that make them extremely dangerous. In fact, impairment plays a critical role in many of the deadliest traffic accidents out there. It’s important to note that exhaustion, or drowsy driving, comes with impairments of its own.
Failure to Follow the Rules of the Road
Drivers who fail to obey all traffic signs, lights, and signals make driving less predictable and, therefore, more dangerous. For example, failure to yield the right of way as required often results in serious car accidents.
Aggression
Aggressive drivers take a no-holds-barred approach to driving, making them among the most dangerous motorists on our roadways.
Excess Speed
Motorists who exceed the speed limit are not only more likely to cause accidents, but the accidents they cause are also more likely to be deadly.
