Causes of Car Accidents

When a car accident lawyer takes your case, the first course of action is to determine who is to blame. While the cause of some car accidents may seem simple, many cases require complex investigations to determine negligence.

Negligence can involve:

  • Inattentive or Distracted Drivers – Drivers who are eating, talking on cell phones, texting or in some other way distracted are the number one cause of car accidents.
  • Driving Under the Influence – In 2008 Long Beach drunk drivers were responsible for 186 car accidents with serious injuries and nine fatal car accidents.
  • Reckless driving -Reckless driving can include speeding, running red lights or stop signs, tailgating, changing lanes without signaling, failure to yield and any other forms of dangerous and aggressive driving.
  • Defective Parts or Faulty Repairs – A car accident lawyer may determine that your accident was caused by a defect in your automobile or from poor repair work. In that case, product liability can extend to the negligent manufacturer or repair shop. Auto defects include faulty tires or brakes.
  • Dangerous Road Conditions – Potholes, uncollected debris, uneven pavement, visual obstructions, and road construction crews can all cause car accidents. A car accident lawyer can determine if a government agency has liability for the conditions.
