What Are Some Common Causes of Car Crash Accidents?

Car crash accidents can occur due to a variety of reasons, often involving a combination of driver behavior, environmental conditions, and vehicle malfunctions. Common causes include:

  • Distracted driving 
  • Driving above the speed limit  
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs 
  • Aggressive driving behaviors 
  • Bad weather conditions  
  • Brake failure, tire blowouts, or steering problems.

 

What Damages Am I Entitled to After a Car Crash?

After a car crash, you may be entitled to various types of damages, depending on the specifics of your case. These typically include compensation for:

  • cost of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and any future medical care related to the accident;
  • lost income due to time off work, as well as potential loss of earning capacity;
  • repairing or replacing your vehicle and other personal property damaged in the crash;
  • physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident; and
  • death and funeral expenses (if a loved one died in the accident).

 

Against Whom Do I File a Car Crash Claim With?

The insurance provider of the driver who caused the accident is usually the first entity to be held liable. You may also be able to file a claim with your own insurance company, depending on your policy and if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured.

Parties other than drivers (like vehicle manufacturers or government entities responsible for road maintenance) might be liable in some cases. A good example is an accident that occurred due to a defective car part.

 

How Can a Car Crash Attorney Help?

The right car crash attorney, preferably from Morgan and Morgan, can assess the merits of your case and the potential damages you can recover. After that, they will compile the necessary documentation, including police reports, medical records, and witness statements to support your case.

The attorney will also handle all communications and negotiations with the insurance carrier, ensuring you don't settle for less than you deserve. This legal assistance can also help you focus on your treatment and recovery. 

If the other party decides to play hardball with your claim, the attorney can represent you in court to fight for your rights and interests.
