Title: Common Causes For Motor Vehicle Accidents


1
  • Common Causes For Motor Vehicle Accidents

2
  • Motor vehicle accidents can cause an individual
    to sustain high medical costs and suffer
    permanent adverse effects, both personally and
    professionally, on their daily lives and income
    earning capabilities.

3
  • Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of
    death among people aged 5 to 34 in the U.S. More
    than 2.3 million adult drivers and passengers
    were treated in emergency departments as the
    result of being injured in motor vehicle crashes.
    A car accident can occur due to number of
    reasons.

4
Distracted Driving
  • A distracted driver is a motorist that diverts
    his or her attention from the road, usually to
    talk on a cell phone, send a text message or eat
    food.

5
Speeding
  • Excess and inappropriate speed are responsible
    for a high proportion of the mortality and
    morbidity that result from road crashes.

6
Drunk Driving
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol causes car
    accidents every day, even when they are one the
    top causes that can be avoided.

7
Defective Vehicles
  • If your accident was caused by a defective car
    part, the vehicles manufacturer should be held
    responsible.

8
Weather Conditions
  • Weather conditions such as rain, snow, sleet,
    hail, fog, etc., can affect the safety of roads
    and limit a drivers visibility and control,
    causing accidents.
  • Avoid car accidents by using your head lights
    and never your high beams when driving in the
    fog.

9
Tailgating
  • Many fatal car accidents have occurred when a
    motorist dangerously tailgated another driver at
    high speeds.
  • You can prevent these car accidents by giving the
    car in front of you a one-car-length buffer for
    every 10 mph you drive.

10
Learner and Inexperienced Drivers
  • These type of drivers are more likely to crash
    due to 'error or reaction' factors than drivers
    between 30 and 70.
  • Car drivers under 25 have 'exceeding the speed
    limit', 'travelling too fast for the conditions'
    and 'learner/inexperienced' recorded more
    frequently than drivers over the age of 25.

11
Roadways
  • Missing road signs, malfunctioning traffic
    signals, or debris that was not cleared from the
    road can all contribute to a dangerous car
    accident.
