What Caused Your Car Accident?

While a number of factors can contribute to the cause of a car accident such as road design, weather conditions, driver skill level, driver impairment (alcohol or drugs), driver behavior, road debris, or a defect in automotive design, by far the majority of car accidents can be traced back to some form of driver negligence.

Some of the most common forms of driver negligence include:

• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI)
• Speeding
• And distracted driving

Driver distraction applies to any activity that takes the driver's eyes off the road (visual distraction), their mind off the task of driving (cognitive distraction), or their hands off the wheel (manual distraction). While there are many different forms of driver distraction, perhaps the most dangerous is texting while driving since it involves all three major forms of driver distraction.

What Are Common Types of Car Accidents?

Car accidents and truck accidents can happen at any time and due to any number of causes. Some accidents only involve one car, such as run-off accidents. Others are multi-vehicle accidents, such as head-on collisions or side impact crashed.

Common Injuries Caused by Car Accidents

Rear-end collisions and front-end collisions are common causes of:

• Whiplash
• Head injuries
• And neck / back injuries

Catastrophic injury is also possible, especially if the accident occurred at high speeds. If the vehicle rolls over or is crushed, or if the driver is ejected, then spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries are possible. Even severe burns can occur if the car catches on fire with passengers inside.

What Damage Can Be Caused by Car Accidents?

Car accidents are common events, especially in areas such as Southern California where there are so many vehicles on the road at any given time; the odds are basically stacked against you.

While the extent of the vehicle damage and injuries vary widely in car accident cases, a car accident can result in:

• Vehicle damage
• Property damage
• Serious injury
• And even death
