Car Accidents

During the past 20 years, auto makers have taken many steps to improve the standards of safety in their vehicles, adding safer components (anti-lock brakes, improved tire durability, more responsive handling) to the vehicles to give drivers more control over them, and adding safety measures (front and side air bags) the help minimize injuries in car accidents when they do occur.

Still, operating any vehicle requires the full attention and concentration of the driver, and this is something more and more Americans seem to be forgetting. Recent studies show that driver distraction is contributing to a larger number of car accidents than ever before. According to a recent poll conducted by Mason Dixon, a large percentage of drivers say they speed, eat while they drive, use cell phones while they drive, run red or yellow lights, fail to wear seat belts, fail to signal when they turn --- and even sometimes read while they drive.

While some accidents continue to occur as a result of auto defects – such as defective steering, defective brakes, defective tires, defective air bags, defective seat belts and defective helmets on motorcycles, the majority of accidents occur as a result of human error and driver distraction.

Serious injuries can occur as a result of automobile accidents, including serious fractures, severe burns, brain injuries, back injuries, neck injuries and spinal cord injuries. The extent of and cost to recover from these injuries is not always clear until some time after the car accident occurs. Because of the long-term expenses that accompany many of these types of injuries, insurance companies are often in a hurry to settle your claim, and sometimes their settlement only covers a fraction of the costs required for your full recovery.
