There are many reasons that someone gets into a traffic accidents. Distracted drivers are the number one reason motorists get into car accidents. Other factors contributing to car accidents include drunk or drugged driving, speeding, road conditions, inexperience, not obeying traffic signals, inexperience, tailgating, road design and debris as well as simply driving recklessly.
Drivers are expected to exercise “reasonable care under the circumstances” when they are on roads and freeways. When they fail to do this they can be considered negligent and may be required to pay for damages caused by their acts including property damage and injuries to victims. However, the victim has the burden to prove that the other driver’s actions were negligent.
Drivers who are reckless and disregard traffic laws or drive in any unsafe manner can be found negligent and liable for the injuries inflicted onto another driver if there is an accident. Negligence, however, can be difficult to prove if there is an accident. That’s why it’s so important to contact an attorney who knows the steps necessary to prove who is at fault after a car accident.
