Montgomery Car Accident Causes, Types, and Injuries
Car accidents vary widely in cause and severity. Even in two accidents of the same type, the injuries, damages, and other outcomes can be drastically different. As a part of building a case for compensation for our clients, our attorneys work to understand the type of accident, the cause of the accident, and the injuries our clients sustained.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Study, some causes of traffic accidents include:
- Distractions, both inside the car and outside
- Fatigue and falling asleep behind the wheel
- Drunk driving or drugged driving
- Driving too fast for conditions
- Not slowing down enough for a curve or turn
- Failure to yield
- Overcorrection
- Failure to maintain lane, improper passing, or failing to signal when passing
- Running a red light or stop sign
Our team can take on almost any type of car accident case. Some of the most common types of car accidents include:
- Rear-end collisions
- Head-on collisions
- Side impact collisions
- Sideswipe accidents
- Single-vehicle accidents
The injuries that occur in a car accident can include life-altering traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord injuries. They may also include fractures, soft tissue injuries, internal injuries, broken hips, broken limbs, neck and back injuries, whiplash, and other injuries.
All these injuries require medical care, and some require extensive and ongoing treatment and support. The time away from work can be devastating to the victim and their family’s financial stability. We believe accident victims should not have to endure this type of undue financial stress because someone else acted negligently and caused an accident.
At the Morris Bart law firm, we can help Montgomery car accident victims pursue and possibly recover compensation to cover their accident-related damages and losses, preventing them from having to pay these expenses and losses out of pocket. Our clients pay nothing up front, and we only collect attorney’s fees if we recover compensation. Call (334) 523-0664 to learn more.
