Common Causes of Car Accidents
Distracted Driving
This includes any activity that diverts attention from driving, such as talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, or adjusting the navigation system. Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents today.
Speeding
Driving above the speed limit is a common cause of accidents. Speeding reduces the driver’s ability to react to sudden changes in the road, increasing the severity of crashes and resulting in more severe injuries.
Reckless Driving
This includes aggressive driving behaviors such as tailgating, changing lanes without signaling, and excessive speeding. Reckless driving often leads to serious accidents and severe injuries.
Drunk Driving
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs significantly impairs a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely. Drunk driving is a major cause of fatal accidents and severe injuries.
CHazardous Road Conditions
Poorly maintained roads, lack of proper signage, and adverse weather conditions like rain, snow, and fog can contribute to car accidents. Drivers may lose control of their vehicles or fail to see obstacles in their path.
Common Car Accident Injuries
Whiplash and Neck Injuries
Often resulting from rear-end collisions, these injuries can cause long-term pain and mobility issues.
Head and Brain Injuries
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can have lasting effects on your cognitive and physical abilities.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Damage to the spinal cord can result in partial or complete paralysis, significantly impacting your quality of life.
Broken Bones
Fractures can lead to significant pain, require lengthy recovery times, and may necessitate surgery.
Internal Injuries
Damage to internal organs can be life-threatening and may not be immediately apparent after an accident.
Emotional Trauma
The psychological impact of a car accident can be profound, leading to conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
