Liability for Madison County Truck Accidents
Car accidents remain a leading cause of preventable injury and death in the United States. According to the IIHS, “A total of 40,901 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2023. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s most recent estimate of the annual economic cost of crashes is $340 billion.” Several factors could contribute to a collision.
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Inclement weather
- Driver intoxication
Drivers must operate vehicles at a safe speed and take into consideration the prevailing road conditions. Drivers must be particularly cautious when they are making turns. Drivers intending to turn left must first yield the right-of-way to any driver close enough to pose a hazard. If a driver turns into the path of another vehicle, this may be construed as negligence. It is important that certain actions are taken after any car accident.
- The police should be called to the scene so that they can begin an investigation.
- Photos of the accident site should be taken.
- Medical records related to injuries should be sought.
- A thorough investigation should be conducted.
Car accidents are often highly preventable. They tend to involve situations where drivers are not following traffic regulations.
