​
While the cause of every auto crash is unique there are several common threads such as:
​
-
Distracted Drivers: In most cases, the driver is distracted by their cell phone, the radio, GPS, looking for something in the car, talking with passengers, or is looking at something on the side of the road.
-
Driving Under The Influence (D.U.I.): A lot of accidents occur when one driver is under the influence whether it's prescription drugs, alcohol, or illicit drugs. Just because the police may not have investigated the accident as a D.U.I. does not mean the responsible party was not under the influence.
-
Reckless Driving: This includes weaving in and out of traffic, excessive speeds, or dangerous turns.
-
Malfunctioning Equipment: Sometimes an accident occurs due to a manufacturer’s defect such as accelerator issues, tire defect, airbag failure, etc.
