No two automobile accidents are exactly alike, but there are a few common causes for auto accidents. At Kirsch, Gelband & Stone, a leading Newark, NJ automobile accident law firm, we have been practicing auto accident law for years and have worked with and represented thousands of victims in every type of automobile accident.
Likely Causes of Automobile Accidents:
Distracted Drivers
Whether they are talking on their cell phone, changing radio stations or gawking at a traffic accident, distracted drivers are dangerous to all of those on the road. According to a study released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI), 80% of crashes involve driver distraction. Staying focused on the road is essential to ensuring your safety as well as the safety of those around you.
Speeding
Speed limits are set based upon the surrounding area. Schools zones and residential areas generally dictate a lower speed limit. It is important to remember that speed limits are set as a safety precaution and should be obeyed at all times.
Fatigued Drivers
Fatigue can impair your motor skills and hinder your response time in an emergency. Make sure you get plenty of rest before getting behind the wheel.
Driving Under the Influence
Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is incredibly dangerous. According to MADD there were 12,998 fatalities resulting from drunk driving automobile accidents in 2007 which was roughly 31.7% of all fatal accidents that year.
Inclement Weather
Weather often plays a major role in motor vehicle accidents. Poor visibility and slick conditions can cause a driver to lose control. It is always best to avoid taking to the road when inclement weather is forecast.
