Common Causes of Automobile Accidents
There are many causes of automobile accidents. When a party doesn’t follow the rules of the road, disaster can happen, leading to insurmountable consequences for those involved. Some of the leading causes of automobile accidents are:
- Drunk driving
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Fatigue and distracted driving
- Driver inattention
- Rain
- Texting while driving
- Running red lights
- Turning when unsafe
Despite new laws prohibiting the use of a cellphone while driving, people continue to do so. Other distractions such as eating and drinking, grooming, and using a navigation system lead to serious and/or life-threatening injuries. Every day, reckless drivers speed or drive too fast for conditions, and pose serious threats to motorists.
Every accident is unique. However, in the vast majority, someone is to blame. Armstrong Law can review your accident to determine whether you should take legal action. There are many reasons for automobile accident injury claims. Warren Armstrong has handled hundreds of accident cases and is incredibly qualified to help you.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims
If you are hurt in a car accident caused by another driver’s negligence, you have the right to expect compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other losses. Generally, your costs and general damages are paid by the at-fault driver’s liability insurance when you make a personal injury claim. This is called a “tort claim.” Unfortunately, many drivers carry only the minimum liability coverage required by Texas law.
If the uninsured or underinsured driver who hit you has only the minimum liability insurance, it may not cover all of your losses. If you carry uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) coverage, which we suggest that you buy to best protect you and your family, we will make a claim against your own insurance company to cover the balance of your losses. This is called a “contract claim.” It is a highly complex series of laws and most people do not understand the nature and extent of these types of cases.
Rideshare Uber/Lyft Accidents
Rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft are a convenient option for many people, but rideshare drivers are still prone to accidents. These drivers are more likely to be driving in areas they are unfamiliar with to pick up app users, and they could be easily distracted by the app’s navigation system or new surroundings. If you were injured in an Uber or Lyft accident, you may have grounds for a case.
Like other drivers, we recognize rideshare drivers are only human. If a rideshare driver’s negligence, however, has brought you great harm, you should not have to suffer for it. Don’t let tech companies with the best insurance company lawyers’ money can buy minimize the harm caused to you.
