Common Causes of Car Accidents

There are countless reasons why car and motor vehicle accidents occur on the road, but some are far more common than others.

Below is a list of some of the main causes:

  • Distracted driving, such as texting, talking on the phone, eating, or grooming while driving.
  • Speeding, which can reduce the time a driver has to react.
  • Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
  • Reckless driving, including improper lane changes and a disregard for the rules of the road.
  • Running red lights, which often result in devastating side-impact collisions.

Other causes include road rage, improper turns, teen drivers, design defects, tailgating, and fatigued driving.

What Damages Can I Recover?

Filing a personal injury claim after a car accident is essential for ensuring you receive the damages you are entitled to.

Here is what compensation may cover:

  • Past and future medical expenses, including hospital visits, prescription medications, and physical therapy.
  • Property damage, such as your vehicle and any other personal items that were damaged.
  • Many accident victims are unable to immediately return to work, which is why compensation may also cover lost wages.
  • Pain and suffering, including anxiety or depression.
  • Physical impairment and permanent disability.

Additionally, in Georgia, depending on the details of your case, you may be able to recover punitive damages. However, the defendant’s actions must have been particularly egregious.
