Different Types of Car Accidents

Car accidents are a common occurrence on the roads, but the causes and types of accidents vary from case to case. Most car accidents are caused by driver negligence and can happen in various ways.

Common types of car accidents include:

• Rear-end collisions: Rear-end collisions occur when a vehicle following behind another vehicle fails to stop in time, resulting in an impact. Whiplash is a common and serious rear-end collision injury.
• Head-on collisions: Head-on collisions occur when two vehicles traveling in opposite directions collide with one another head-on at high speeds. The injuries caused by head-on crashes are often catastrophic.
• Sideswipes: Sideswipes are car accidents that generally occur between two vehicles traveling in the same direction scrape together due to one driver deviating from their lane or merging without permission.
• T-bone collisions: Also known as broadside or right-angle crashes, T-bone crashes happen when a vehicle is hit on its side at an angle, rather than parallel like a sideswipe. These are typically caused by negligent drivers running red lights or failing to yield at intersections.
• Multi-car pileups: A multi-vehicle accident involves multiple cars crashing into each other, which creates a complicated liability situation. The resultant wreckage can be extensive and lead to major injury for victims involved in the crash.

What Causes Car Accidents?

Understanding the common causes of car accidents is important when evaluating any potential case.

Common causes of car accidents include:

• Distracted driving: Distracted driving reflects a driver’s lack of attention due to activities such as texting, talking on the phone, eating, drinking, and more.
• Speeding: Driving at excessive speeds can reduce a driver’s chances of being able to stop or turn in time to avoid hitting another vehicle or object.
• Driving under the influence (DUI): Though not always intentional, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol increases risks for everyone on the road.
• Poor weather conditions: Inclement weather such as rain and snow can make it difficult for drivers to maintain control over their vehicles on slippery roads. But drivers are still responsible for taking the necessary precautions and driving safely in inclement weather.
• Vehicle malfunctions: Malfunctioning brakes, tires, headlights, and other essential parts can directly cause serious accidents on the roadways.

We know how to analyze evidence to prove negligence when the other driver is at fault. The goal is to place full liability on them, so you can get the maxiumum amount of compensation.
