Common Causes of Car Accidents

How did your car accident happen? We will ask this question at the start of your case and get to work investigating the situation as much as we can. The goal is to find evidence that proves you did nothing wrong, so the full liability of the accident will be placed on the other driver.

Causes of car accidents can vary, such as:

Distraction:

Intoxication

Reckless driving

Auto part failures

Poor road conditions

Distraction:

Driver distraction is incredibly dangerous and comes in many forms. Most commonly, though, drivers distract themselves by using their smartphones when driving. Looking at a text message for 5 seconds while traveling at highway speeds will make the driver travel the length of a football field “blindly.”

Intoxication

Drinking a single alcoholic beverage and then driving is completely unacceptable, and drivers who commit this illegal act of negligence know it, too. In other words, there is no such thing as safe buzzed driving.

Reckless driving

Unsafe driving behaviors like speeding, tailgating, and changing a lane without signaling are terribly common. Unfortunately, they are also horribly dangerous and cause thousands upon thousands of preventable car accidents each year.

Auto part failures

Were you driving when you suddenly lost control of your vehicle? It might be that an auto part abruptly failed on you, causing you to crash. If that happened, then the automaker who used the part could be liable.

Poor road conditions

When a car accident is caused by or worsened due to a defect with the road, the municipal department in charge of maintaining the road could be liable. Examples of unacceptable road defects include large potholes, missing guardrails, unclear lane markings, etc.

Texas Modified Comparative Negligence Rule

In Texas, car accident cases are subjected to the state’s modified comparative negligence rule. Under this rule, you cannot be more than 50% liable for your car accident and still have a valid claim to file against the other involved parties. Also, the amount of compensation you can receive will be reduced by the same percentage as your liability, so it is imperative to work with a legal team that knows how to keep your liability as low as possible.

Will Your Car Accident Settle?

Most legally sound car accident claims do not need to go to court for litigation. Instead, they can be settled through careful negotiations between the auto insurance company and the claimant’s attorney. At Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers, we know how to reach a settlement, so you can get paid sooner than later. However, if the opposition will not offer a fair amount to pay for your damages, then our trial lawyers can take them to court.
