Are you Familiar with these Overlooked Causes of Car Accidents?

Stephanie Thompson, Estate Planning Attorney of Krueger Hernandez & Thompson SC · Dec 17, 2015 ·

causes of car accidentsEvery year, thousands of people are injured and killed in motor vehicle accidents. These are attributed to many factors, such as speeding, distracted driving, and driving while impaired.

But did you know that these accidents occur for many other reasons? If you plan on spending any time behind the wheel, it is essential to understand what could happen. This includes overlooked causes of car accidents. Here are three that should always be on your mind:

  1. Bad weather. You never know when the weather will take a turn for the worst. This could be anything from rain to wind to snow. Make sure you are prepared for anything that comes your way.
  2. Defective automobile. Your car is in good working condition, right? Well, you hope this to be true. Even so, you never truly know if this is the case. It is important to have your car regularly inspected, especially if you believe something is wrong. Even so, there is no guarantee that a faulty part won’t cause trouble while you are behind the wheel.
  3. Roadway defects. Take for example a construction zone that is not properly setup or maintained. As a driver, this could cause an accident when you least expect it.

These may not be the types of things you typically think about when you are driving. You need to understand the risks associated with operating a motor vehicle, including those that are often overlooked by others.

If you are injured in an accident, regardless of the cause, don’t wait to receive medical care. You need to be examined by a doctor to ensure that you receive the appropriate treatment.

At some point, once you are stable, you can then contact us to discuss the events of the accident. We can then help you recover the compensation you deserve.
