Common Causes of Car Accidents
All drivers are legally obligated to operate their vehicles safely and act with reasonable care toward others on the road. A driver behaves negligently when they fail to uphold this duty, and if this negligence causes an accident, they typically become liable for any injuries they cause.
Several common types of negligence can lead to car accidents, including:
- Distracted driving. Anything that takes the driver's attention off the road is a distraction. This includes texting or talking on a cell phone, eating, talking to passengers, or even adjusting the radio.
- Speeding. Exceeding the speed limit is a dangerous habit that can lead to devastating crashes. Speeding remains a prevalent cause of accidents, as it diminishes the driver's ability to navigate safely around curves or objects in the roadways and extends the distance needed to stop a vehicle.
- Drunk driving. Despite the severe criminal penalties for drunk driving, people still get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol. Drunk drivers pose a significant risk to themselves and others on the road, as alcohol impairs cognitive and motor skills.
- Reckless driving. This involves a wide range of traffic offenses, including tailgating, changing lanes without signaling, and disregarding traffic signs or signals. Reckless driving shows a disregard for the rules of the road and endangers other motorists.
It may not be immediately apparent what caused the wreck. Our Washington, D.C. car accident attorneys can investigate what happened and walk you through your options for recovering compensation.
