Causes Of Car Accidents In The Bronx

In order to be fairly compensated for your losses, you often need to prove how your crash happened. Some car accidents are just that — accidents. But the vast majority of collisions occur because a driver acted in a reckless or negligent matter. Some of the most common causes of crashes involving two or more vehicles include:

• Distracted Driving — Far too many drivers fail to pay attention to everything around them. They're checking their phone, eating while driving, looking at a GPS or even watching videos. As a result, distracted drivers often crash into other cars. And when they do, they need to be held accountable for their actions.
• Texting While Driving — Texting while driving is against the law in New York. So is operating a cellphone with your hands while driving. New York requires drivers to use a hands-free device while driving. Even so, many drivers ignore these laws and cause serious car collisions. And since they're so focused on their phone, they often fail to slow down before crashing into another car.
• Speeding — It's amazing how fast some drivers go in the Bronx. Even though the city has some of the heaviest traffic in the country, many drivers still manage to drive far above the speed limit. Speeding drivers wreak havoc when they crash into another car. In some cases, speeding drivers cause multiple car collisions, resulting in serious injuries to several drivers and passengers.
• Drunk Driving — Drinking and driving is a serious crime. That's because drunk drivers cannot control their vehicle and may cause serious motor vehicle accidents. Victims of drunk drivers deserve to be fairly compensated for their injuries. But don't simply assume that the drunk driver's insurance company will pay for all your losses. In most cases, you will need to fight for what's rightfully yours. That's why you need us on your side.
• Running A Red Light — Bronx drivers in a rush often race through red lights. And when they do, they can cause serious crashes in intersections, including T-bone accidents. Red-light cameras at intersections in New York often catch the driver running a red light on video. But that's no guarantee that you will be fully compensated for your crash. That's why you need us on your side, standing up for your rights.
• Falling Asleep At The Wheel — Tired drivers or drivers who fall asleep at the wheel often cause serious collisions. That's because these drivers are unaware they are about to drive into another vehicle and don't slow down before crashing into another car. If you or a loved one got hit by a tired, fatigued, or sleeping driver, contact our law firm to go over your legal rights and options.
