Car Accidents
Car accidents are one of the most frequently occurring types of accidents throughout the United States, and many people are injured and killed every day. If you are unfortunate enough to be injured in a car accident, your injuries could range from minor to severe, depending upon the circumstances of the accident. Those injured in car accidents typically suffer only minor injuries such as scrapes, bruises, cuts and whiplash, but others may suffer more serious injuries like brain & spinal cord injuries, broken bones, limb loss, or paralysis.
The most common types of car accidents are:
- Backup Accidents
- Head-On Collisions
- Rear-End Collisions
- Rollovers
- Side Impact Collisions
Sometimes Road conditions and weather conditions can cause auto accidents, but a majority of the time these accidents are caused by driver negligence. Some common types of driver errors leading to car accidents include:
- Speeding
- Failure to signal a turn
- Tailgating
- Disregarding traffic signs and signals
- Aggressive lane changing
- Failure to yield
- Driving while intoxicated
If you have been injured in an accident at the fault of another person, there are a number of different claims that may be filed by your lawyer depending upon the circumstances of the accident and the injuries resulting from the accident.
