Common Urban Car Accidents
Many recorded auto accidents occur in heavily populated areas. Some common causes of urban car accidents include:
- Distracted driving: Using a phone, talking or eating food can increase auto accidents.
- Tailgating: People may drive close to the back of other vehicles, increasing accident rates.
- Wrong-way driving: People may make the wrong turn and drive down a one-way street or the wrong side of the road.
Seeking compensation for your injuries and losses is important for your future. Talk to our attorneys about your recovery options.
Common Rural Car Accidents
Many people do not realize that many auto accidents occur outside city limits. Some common causes of rural car accidents include:
- Speeding: Drivers may be more likely to speed on rural roads because of fewer street signs and law enforcement, increasing the odds of auto accidents.
- Driver fatigue: Some drivers may become sleepy – especially at night – causing them to fall asleep behind the wheel.
- Poor road conditions: Rural roads are often less maintained than urban roads, making it harder for drivers to maneuver their vehicles.
If you have experienced a car accident on a rural road, talk to a lawyer right away to begin building your case.
