Common Causes of Automobile Accidents in Atlanta

Most car collisions occur as a result of careless or reckless conduct by another driver. Some examples of negligence that frequently cause crashes include:

• Distracted Driving When drivers are talking on the phone, texting, rubbernecking other accidents, adjusting the radio, enjoying the scenery, or talking to other passengers, they cannot dedicate proper focus to operating the vehicle.
• Traffic Violations Laws regarding speeding, improper lane changes, failure to yield, and others are intended to keep others safe, so many collisions occur because a driver violates traffic laws.
• Fatigued or Drowsy Driving A driver’s physical and cognitive abilities are affected when he or she has been behind the wheel for more than two hours, is driving late at night, or had a heavy meal. Motorists may also experience drowsiness from taking certain medications.
• Driving While Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs Intoxication is a common cause of accidents, whether the motorist is over the legal limit or is impaired by alcohol or drugs.
• Weather and Physical Conditions Rain, snow, fog, ice, sleet, and wind can lead to auto collisions, as can physical factors like obstructions and sharp curves.
• Reckless or Aggressive Driving A motorist creates a severe risk of harm to others by tailgating, drag racing, yelling, making rude gestures, ignoring traffic signals, and changing lanes frequently.

Compensation for Auto Accident Victims

If you get into a wreck, and it is not your fault, injured victims are able to seek relief in the form of compensation from the responsible driver, the vehicle owner, the motorist’s employer, and other related parties. If the collision is not your fault and you suffer injuries, you are entitled to recover monetary damages for:

• Your current and future medical bills;
• Lost wages, if you were unable to work because of your injuries;
• Pain and suffering;
• Emotional distress;
• Losses that affect your personal relationships; and,
• Many others depending on the details of your case.

In addition, if reckless or aggressive driving was a factor in causing the crash, you may be entitled to punitive damages. This form of damages is intended to punish the other driver for outrageously dangerous conduct, such as Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol.

At-Fault Insurance Company contact

We can’t stress this enough — Do not speak to the responsible driver’s insurance company before speaking to a lawyer. Always consult a lawyer first. This is for your own protection. Would you go to battle with no armor? The insurance company is ready and armed and you should be too.

Adjusters are divided into two categories: bodily injury adjusters and property damage adjusters. The only adjuster that you should speak to immediately is the adjuster handling your vehicle damage. If a bodily injury adjuster contacts you DO NOT SPEAK TO THEM BEFORE CONSULTING WITH A LAWYER. Confirm with the adjuster that it is only the property damage adjuster and never answer any questions regarding your injuries whatsoever.

Do not agree to any recorded statements whatsoever. These statements are not mandatory. No matter what an adjuster may tell you – they are not your friend. Their entire purpose is to catch you in a “lie,” put words in your mouth, confuse the facts, and on and on. The adjuster’s goal is to find a way to either avoid compensating you for your injuries or limit your compensation. The insurance company will never “over-pay” a claim, however our goal is always is to get you full value of your case – nothing more, nothing less. Take control of your claim, and contact The Brice Law Firm today.
