Car Accidents and Driver Error
While mechanical problems, road defects, and inclement weather conditions often contribute to car accidents on U.S roadways, driver error also plays a major role in many accidents. Drivers who are distracted behind the wheel or who fail to operate their vehicle in a responsible manner may cause serious injuries and property damage if they are involved in an accident.
Following an accident, law enforcement officials and insurance companies will often investigate the accident to determine who is at fault for the collision. If a driver is found to have operated his or her car in a negligent or careless manner, he or she may be held liable for the medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering of those involved in the crash.
