Most car accidents are caused by negligence (source: NHTSA). That negligence can arise in diverse ways, but most of the time it involves:
More than 9 in 10 car accidents are caused by negligent drivers (source:NHTSA). This can include motorists in passenger vehicles, as well as commercial vehicles. Sometimes, several drivers may be negligent and end up causing a single wreck.
When motorists’ misbehaviors cause crashes, they tend to involve errors related to:
More than 40% of wrecks happen because motorists fail to see key signals in their driving environment. This can involve completely overlooking these signals, as well as misperceptions and misunderstandings of these important cues.
Risky decisions behind the wheel cause about 30% of car crashes. These choices can include anything from drunk driving or using a cellphone to speeding, tailgating, or blasting through a red light.
About 11% of car accidents happen when motorists make risky maneuvers or when they mishandle a vehicle. This can involve oversteering or failing to adjust speeds in adverse conditions.
About 7% of auto accidents are caused by motorists failing to perform a necessary action. In most cases, it’s due to driver fatigue or a driver sleeping behind the wheel.
No, it’s not a good idea to trust an insurance company to properly identify the causes — nor is it wise to assume that insurers will properly assign fault. The reason is that insurance companies don’t necessarily conduct neutral investigations. Nor are they interested in justice.
Instead, insurers are intent on protecting their interests and their profits. And they are known for using tricky tactics to try to pay out the least amount possible.
If you’re filing a car accident claim, that puts you in direct opposition to the insurance company’s interests.
