Car Accidents Can Result from Various Causes
Car accidents can happen quickly when motorists don’t pay attention and become careless. These behaviors can compromise a driver’s ability to avoid an accident by reducing their reaction and response times. Some factors that contribute to collisions include:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Alcohol or drug impairment
- Driver fatigue
- Disregarding the rules of the road
- Poor driving conditions
Common Car Accident Injuries You Can Sustain in an Accident
Car accidents can cause serious harm. It can be difficult to tell the full extent of your injuries after an accident because they may not develop right away. That is why talking with a doctor or getting emergency care after an accident is a must. Some common car crash injuries include:
- Whiplash
- Broken bones
- Soft tissue damage
- Neck injuries
- Back and spine injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Internal damage
What to Do After a Car Accident
Knowing what to do after an accident can protect your rights and settlement. To ensure you get the support you need immediately after an accident, you should:
- Get medical attention
- File a police report
- Exchange information with the other driver
- Collect evidence
- Hire a lawyer
- File an accident claim
How to Navigate Fault in Your Case
When you file your claim, you must provide evidence of what you’ve suffered and the other driver’s fault. This means you must establish that they owed you a duty of care, breached it by becoming careless, and caused an accident that resulted in damages. Lawyers can help you build your case, and help you navigate comparative negligence (West Virginia Code § 55-7-13a) if there is shared fault.
