Car accidents can have a devastating effect on you and your family. Not only are you suffering from physical and emotional injuries, but your vehicle may be damaged as well. You also have to worry about expensive medical treatments and lost wages. May car accidents are the result of negligence--or failure to drive in a safe manner. If another driver is responsible for causing your accident, he or she may also be responsible for the expenses you incurred as a result.
HOW NEGLIGENCE CAUSES ACCIDENTS At Parsley Law Office, Lincoln Auto Accident Attorneys are familiar with all types of negligence that can cause car accidents. Common examples of negligence can include:
Aggressive Driving
Traffic laws are in place to protect drivers on the highway. Speeding, changing lanes abruptly, tailgating, running red lights, and other violations of these laws can all contribute to accidents and are a form of negligence.
Distracted Driving
Drivers have a responsibility to keep their eyes and their attention on the road at all times. Texting, making phone calls, eating, changing the radio station, or updating a GPS can all lead to major accidents. If distracted driving is found to have caused an accident, the driver may be held liable for any injuries suffered in the crash.
Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Mothers Against Drunk Driving reports that every minute, a person is injured in an alcohol-related crash. Getting behind the wheel of a car after drinking, using drugs, or taking prescription medication can severely impair a person's ability to drive.
