Overview of Car Accidents

In a car accident, one vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or other stationary obstruction, such as a tree or utility pole. Some of the common causes of car accidents are:

  • Driver error is the most frequent cause of car accidents in the US. The types of driver errors are many, including speeding, passing dangerously or being distracted while driving.
  • Speeding is purposefully driving above the speed limit which could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
  • Reckless driving is willful ignoring of people, vehicles and other objects on the road. Some examples of reckless driving are failure to stop at traffic lights, tailgating and disregarding of traffic safety rules.
  • Drunk driving car accidents are caused by the negligence of intoxicated drivers.
  • Defective roads due to municipal negligence can also become a cause of otherwise preventable car accidents. Some examples of roadway defects are potholes, lack of signs and uneven pavement.
  • Vehicle defects are a cause of accidents when vehicles fail to perform at an adequate level. Common car defects include flawed seat belts, faulty child safety seats and improperly functioning airbags.

As a result of car accidents, drivers and passengers of vehicles can sustain a number of serious injuries, such as whiplash, loss of limbs, broken bones, brain and spinal cord injuries, and partial or total paralysis.

Your Vehicle Accident Checklist

Being involved in a car accident may shatter your ability to think coherently and evaluate the situation. Before help arrives to the scene, Eisenberg Law Offices accident injury attorneys advise you to take the following steps:

  • Stay on the scene, as this is required by Wisconsin law. Failing to do so may lead to criminal charges.
  • Provide immediate assistance to the injured or seek medical help if you yourself are injured.
  • Move all vehicles to safety, identify everyone at the scene, and assist the authorities until you are authorized to leave.
  • Do not admit fault, do not agree to pay for any damages, and do not accept any payments for your damages at the scene.
  • Make your own documentation of the accident and take photographs.
  • Call a personal injury attorney for further help.

By securing immediate professional legal help and making your own documentation of the accident, you may significantly assist in the successful settlement of your accident-related losses.
