Automobile accidents
There are more than 130 million cars on the road in America. In 2008, there were more than 34,000 automobile fatalities in the United States. While many of these incidents can be considered purely accidental, driver negligence is usually the primary factor.
Negligence occurs when a person fails to use reasonable care when operating a motor vehicle. Obvious forms of negligence are drunk driving, speeding, and reckless driving. But negligence also includes texting, or using a cell phone or other electronic device while driving.
No matter the type of negligence, the results are the same: drivers take their eyes off the road, their hands off the wheel, and their focus away from safely operating their vehicle. This is how accidents happen, sometimes with tragic results.
If you are injured by a negligent driver, you are entitled to compensation for damages, pain and suffering, or loss in the quality of life due to your injuries. If a family member is killed in an automobile accident, you may also be entitled to compensation for your loss.
