Common Causes of Car Accidents
Understanding the cause of your accident is essential for establishing liability and determining the right course of action. Common causes of car accidents include:
- Distracted Driving: Distracted drivers are a leading cause of preventable car accidents.
- Speeding: Driving above the speed limit can lead to dangerous situations and more severe injuries.
- Drunk or Drug-Impaired Driving: Impairment due to alcohol or drugs is a significant risk factor in car accidents.
- Weather Conditions: Poor weather such as rain or snow can impair visibility and vehicle control.
- Aggressive Driving: Reckless driving, tailgating, and aggressive maneuvers often contribute to accidents.
- Vehicle Defects: Mechanical failures like brake malfunctions or tire blowouts can also lead to serious accidents.
By analyzing the accident cause, we can hold the responsible parties accountable and help secure the compensation you deserve.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
In car accident cases, liability can extend beyond the driver who caused the accident. At PCLC, we investigate all parties who may be responsible, including:
- Negligent Drivers: Often the primary source of liability in car accidents.
- Employers: In cases involving commercial vehicles, an employer may be liable if the accident occurred on the job.
- Vehicle Manufacturers: Faulty parts or manufacturing defects can make vehicle manufacturers liable.
- Government Entities: Poorly maintained roads or inadequate signage can sometimes lead to government liability.
- Other Road Users: Pedestrians or bicyclists can sometimes share responsibility, particularly if they violated traffic rules.
By identifying all possible liable parties, we build a robust case that maximizes your compensation potential.
Common Injuries in Car Accident Cases
Car accidents can result in various injuries, from minor to life-threatening. Some of the most common injuries include:
- Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries: Often caused by rear-end collisions.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): These serious head injuries can require lifelong care.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: Common in severe accidents, often requiring surgery and extensive recovery.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Injuries to the spine can lead to long-term or permanent disabilities.
- Internal Organ Damage: Blunt force trauma can lead to serious internal injuries.
- Emotional Trauma: Many accident survivors experience PTSD, anxiety, or depression, impacting their overall well-being.
Understanding the severity and implications of your injuries helps us secure compensation that truly reflects the costs and hardships you’ve endured.
What Kind of Compensation Can Be Received?
The compensation you may be eligible for depends on the specifics of your accident and injuries. Typical types of compensation include:
- Medical Expenses: Covering current and future medical costs, including surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost during recovery, plus any reduced earning capacity due to injuries.
- Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages accounting for physical pain and emotional distress.
- Property Damage: Covers repair or replacement costs for your vehicle.
- Loss of Consortium: Compensation for affected relationships, often available to spouses and family members.
- Punitive Damages: In cases of gross negligence, courts may award additional punitive damages.
PCLC fights to ensure our clients receive the maximum compensation possible for all their losses, present and future.
