No matter how cautious you are on the road, you may still become the victim of an auto accident. If you are involved in a car collision, your financial security can be put in jeopardy by both expensive medical bills and lost wages from time off work. If your accident was the result of one of the following car accident causes, you may be eligible for monetary compensation for your personal injury. To explore your legal options, consult an auto accident attorney.

Driver Negligence

A vast majority of car accidents are caused by distracted driving and the negligence of other drivers. Drivers lack focus when they’re talking on the phone, texting with others, or even trying to eat a quick bite. Drunk driving is a significant problem in the United States, as well. If you believe that a car accident occurred because another driver wasn’t paying attention to the road or was otherwise incapacitated, you may be entitled to reparations for your injuries.

Vehicle Malfunction

Under certain circumstances, no driver may be at fault for an accident. Some accidents result from defective vehicle parts. If your brakes lock or another unforeseen malfunction occurs as you’re driving, the car manufacturer may be held responsible for any resulting personal injury. Car manufacturers have extensive legal means to halt your case should you try to pursue legal action on your own. If you have been involved in such a circumstance, having a capable car accident attorney to fight for your right to compensation is important.

Road Hazards

Some auto accidents happen because of faulty signage, scarce traffic signals, or dangerous road conditions. When a lack of public safety measures is to blame for your car collision, contact an auto accident attorney to discuss what steps you can take to claim financial compensation for your personal injury.
