This article covers everything you need to know about why car accidents happen and the common causes.
Although road, traffic, and weather conditions can be contributing causes, most accidents occur as the result of reckless behaviors on the part of other drivers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, common causes of car accidents include:
- Speeding and driving too fast for conditions
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Distracted driving (cell phones, food/drink, conversation)
- Running red lights and stop signs
- Tailgating
- Wrong-way driving
- Improper turns and lane changes
When a negligent driver's behavior leads to a collision, injured victims have the right to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver.

Founder
I was born and raised to represent individuals who have been needlessly injured. I mean that literally. At a young age my father would tell me about the clients he was representing. I would meet them and take pride in their admiration of my father. I always knew I wanted to be a lawyer and represent clients that needed my help.
