Why Do Access-A-Ride Accidents Occur?

Access-A-Ride accidents occur due to various reasons, ranging from human error – mostly some form of negligence – to environmental factors. These include but are not limited to:

• Driver errors such as distraction, fatigue, or failure to comply with traffic rules.
• Unpredictable traffic, especially in congested urban environments.
• Mechanical failures due to inadequate maintenance of these frequently used vehicles.
• Inclement weather which can worsen driving conditions. 
• Inadequate training of Access-A-Ride drivers.
• Insufficient oversight of drivers.

Note that some of these accidents also occur due to government negligence, such as failure to maintain roads or the other driver’s mistakes. Either way, that shouldn’t change the fact that the victims deserve some form of compensation for their injuries or losses.

How Serious Are Access-A-Ride Accidents?

Most Access-A-Ride accidents often result in serious injuries, especially since many passengers may already be vulnerable due to age or disability. Common injuries from these accidents include:

• Whiplash
• Fractures
• Head injuries
• Spinal injuries.
• Broken bones
• Burns

The impact can extend beyond physical injuries, leading to long-term disability or severe psychological trauma, especially in severe cases where recovery might be complicated by pre-existing health conditions. Even worse, such accidents can lead to death.

Possible Victims of Access-A-Ride Accidents

Victims of Access-A-Ride accidents typically include the passengers, who are often elderly or disabled. Drivers of such vehicles can also become victims in these accidents, along with other motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists involved in collisions.
