Types of Car Accidents
Car accidents can happen to anyone, anywhere and at anytime. Understanding the reason of the accident is crucial in determining who is responsible for the accident. The car accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Jason M. Ranallo, P.C. lists some common types and causes of car accidents.
Taking the eyes of the roads or your hands off the wheel increases the likelihood of an accident. Texting, entering the data, emailing, and talking on the phone can divert attention from concentrating on the road. If you have been injured in a cell phone related accident, get in touch with our car accident attorney today.
Using the mobile phones while driving top the lists of car accidents due to distraction. Texting, emailing or talking on the phone can divert all the attention away from concentrating on the road. Statistics say that drivers who text while driving are 20 times more likely to crash.
Alcohol impairs the driver’s reaction behind the wheel, as well as their decision making abilities, making accidents much more likely. If you have been injured by a drunk driver, contact the Law Offices of Jason M. Ranallo, P.C.
Anyone can fall victim to distracted driving but combined with inexperience of drivers, distracting driving increases the risk of car accidents. The reasons vary from eating, talking on the phone, to texting or adjusting the radio.
Speeding is a common factor for many car accidents. Driving at high-speed or too fast for the local conditions puts themselves and others at risk of a serious injury. Speeding drivers have less control of their vehicle and less time to react to avoid a collision. If you have been involved in such accident, get in touch with the Law Offices of Jason M. Ranallo, P.C. for legal assistance.
Fleeing from a hit and run accident is a crime. Our car accident attorney has helped many clients recover compensation for injuries in hit and run accidents even when the identity of the responsible party was never identified. If you have more questions, get in touch with a car accident lawyer.
Rear-end collisions is one of the most common types of car accidents. This usually happens when someone is not paying full attention or following too closely. They usually happen in heavy and start/stop traffic. The top car accident lawyers suggest leaving sufficient space between you and the car in front and being cautious.
Head-on collisions is one of the most dangerous types of car accident. This happens when the front-end of car hits another car or object such as trees, animals or other obstructions at high speeds. Such accidents can leave the passengers with severe body injuries and can sometimes be fatal.
A failure to yield accident occurs when the driver fails to yield the road appropriately, causing a crash. What makes these accidents different from other types of crashes is that often the injury victims drives into the car which fails to yield. Such accidents usually happen when there is a flashing light, when a car is entering the street from a private driveway, when a driver making a left turn fails to surrender to oncoming traffic, or when a driver fails to heed to a pedestrian already in a crosswalk.
Such car accidents happen where the side of one or more vehicles is impacted. These accidents usually happen at crossings, parking lots, or intersections.
Vehicle rollover accidents happen when a vehicle overturns onto its side or roof mostly caused by sharp turns at high speeds. All vehicles are subject to rollover accident, but SUVs are usually at a higher risk as they are taller and have a higher center of gravity. This along with speeding increases the risks of a car rollover.
