Liability for Gates Car Accidents
Speeding remains one of the main causes of car accidents in the United States. According to the NHTSA, “For more than two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities. In 2023, speeding was a contributing factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities.” Several other factors may contribute to a car accident.
- Distracted driving
- Driver intoxication
- Poor road conditions
- Vehicle system failures
Every driver must exercise due care to avoid colliding with other vehicles. To that end, they must maintain a safe distance from any vehicles ahead of them. If a driver fails to slow down to avoid colliding with another vehicle, this may be construed as negligence. Victims of car accidents tend to suffer very serious injuries.
- Broken bones
- Head injuries
- Lacerations
- Spinal cord injuries
Car accidents are often highly preventable. They tend to involve situations where drivers are not paying adequate attention to the vehicles ahead of them. It is important for victims to understand they do have rights. They’re able to pursue some measure of justice and accountability through a personal injury claim. A personal injury attorney can examine the unique facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
