5 Common Causes of Car Accidents
There are millions of car accidents in the United States every year, injuring more than two million people and resulting in over 40,000 tragic deaths. Regrettably, many of these incidents could be prevented were it not for the negligence or recklessness of some motorists. When other drivers choose to ignore the rules of the road and the laws governing automotive transport, they endanger the safety of others on the roadway.

What Causes Car Accidents?
Understanding what actions are likely to cause motor vehicle accidents can help you to avoid making choices that create needless hazards. Moreover, it can also help you to remain observant for signs of these behaviors in other drivers’ actions so that you can take the appropriate precautions to distance yourself from dangerous motorists. The following are five common causes of car accidents:
- Driving at excessive speed
- Driving while distracted (talking or texting on a cell phone, eating, or talking to passengers, etc.)
- Drunk driving
- Failure to adapt driving behavior to the presence of adverse weather conditions
- Falling asleep at the wheel
If you have been injured in a car accident caused by any of the above, contact a qualified attorney today.
