Common Types of Car Accidents

Car accidents can occur in numerous ways, each presenting unique challenges and requiring specific legal considerations. Some of the most common types of car accidents we handle include:

• Rear-End Collisions

• Side-Impact Collisions
• Rollover Accidents
• Multi-Vehicle Pileups

Common Causes of Car Accidents

Some of the most frequent causes include:

• Distracted Driving: Activities such as texting, talking on the phone, eating, or using a GPS can divert a driver’s attention from the road, leading to accidents.
• Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for road conditions is a leading cause of accidents. Speeding reduces a driver’s ability to react in time to avoid a collision.
• Driving Under the Influence (DUI): Alcohol and drugs impair a driver’s judgment, reaction time, and motor skills, significantly increasing the risk of accidents.
• Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, and other adverse weather conditions can make roads slippery and reduce visibility, contributing to accidents.
• Reckless Driving: Aggressive driving behaviors such as tailgating, weaving through traffic, and failing to yield can lead to dangerous situations on the road.

Car Accident FAQs

Do I need a lawyer if the accident seems minor?

It is always wise to consult an attorney. Many "minor" injuries like whiplash can develop into chronic pain, and early settlement offers from insurance companies are often far too low. A free consultation can protect your rights.

How much is my Polk County car accident claim worth?

The value depends on your medical expenses, lost wages, the severity of your injuries, and the impact on your life. We will conduct a thorough investigation to determine the full and fair value of your claim.
