• Most car accidents are a result of negligent actions by other drivers. • The theory of negligence is the foundation for most car accident lawsuits. • Different types of driver negligence contribute to car accidents. Here are the four main types:
Distracted Driving • Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents. • Texting or talking on a phone, adjusting the car entertainment system, reading a map, eating or drinking, etc. are considered distracted behaviors.
Reckless Driving • Speeding, running red lights, driving in the wrong lane, changing lanes without signalling and passing vehicles illegally are some reckless behaviors that are considered negligent.
Disobeying Traffic Laws • Every state has their own traffic laws. • If a driver is negligent and disobeys the traffic rules, he or she can cause an accident.
DUI • Many car accidents are caused by drivers who are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or other substances. • When an intoxicated driver causes a crash, the court will probably determine that the driver is liable for injuries and damages.
