Auto Accident Lawyers
In a report recently released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), it was noted that there were more than 32,000 deaths on U.S. roads in 2010 alone.
While there are often a variety of factors that can contribute to a serious auto accident, it’s important to note that many of these collisions are caused due to driver negligence.
If you or a loved one has become the victim in an auto accident that was caused by the actions of another motorist, that individual may be eligible to receive compensation for their injuries, which can include medical and outpatient therapy costs, pain and suffering, emotional trauma and other expenses that are associated with the treatment of the injury.

Common Causes of Motor Vehicle Collisions
With an estimated 254 MILLION registered passenger vehicles here in the United States, and the diverse road and weather conditions that many drivers face, there can be a large variety of factors that can contribute to a serious motor vehicle accident.
However, over the many years that collision data has been collected, there are certain actions that drivers demonstrate consistently that are proven to be the most common sources of vehicle collisions.
Some of these include (but are not limited to):
- Texting and driving
- DUI / DWI
- Speeding
- Driver fatigue
- Unsafely changing lanes
- Bad weather conditions
- Reckless driving
- Failure to obey traffic signals and signage
It’s worth noting that while driver error is generally a main contributing factor to a collision, there can be other reasons why a collision occurs. In these instances, the driver that is injured still may be eligible to receive compensation from their insurance policy.
Collision Types
Due to the forces involved in most auto accidents, the resulting damage can be very costly for all parties involved, with loss of transportation becoming a major obstacle for many accident victims.
Some common types of crashes can include:
- Rear end
- Head on
- Side impact
- Side swipe
- Hit & run
- Rollover
A common-sense driving tip to help minimize the chances of being in a collision can be to simply drive in a defensive manner. By obeying the traffic laws and being aware of the vehicles around you, a motorist can often avoid a potentially hazardous driving situation.
Types of Car Accident Injuries
When driver negligence and other variable factors like the weather are combined, the resulting collisions can be life changing – not just for the injury victim, but also for the at-fault driver.
Some common types of injuries from auto accidents can include:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Broken bones
- Spinal damage
- Whiplash
- Lacerations
- Internal bleeding
- Facial damage
- Bruising
- Dental injuries
- Concussion
- Skull fractures
- Herniated discs
- Nerve damage
- Limb amputation
….amongst many others.
As with any serious personal injury, it’s important for the victim to seek immediate medical care from a licensed medical practitioner.
