Over 400,000 car accidents occur in Texas each year, more than 6 million in the United States, and a frankly incalculable number occur globally, resulting in 1.3 million deaths and 20-50 million injuries around the world each year. With these numbers, it seems like every possible type of motor vehicle crash must have occurred, even ones that seem absurdly implausible. Despite the vast quantity of accidents, the vehicle involvement, cause, and type of impact that occur will generally fall into one of several categories discussed below.
To avoid any of these types of crashes, it is important to drive defensively with your full attention on the task of operating the vehicle and to avoid any substances or habits that can impair your sensory capabilities. If everyone took these steps, we would have far fewer crashes, injuries, and fatalities each year.
If you have had the misfortune of suffering a serious car accident, know that help is available to you. A quick call (15 minutes or less) to an experienced accident attorney in San Antonio, Dallas, Waco, or Fort Worth can be tremendously helpful in getting you and your loved ones on the path to recovery, well-deserved compensation, and peace of mind.
All vehicular collisions fall into one of the two below categories. From there they can be more specifically categorized by their impact, trajectory, and causes.
These accidents may be defined by different types of impact, but they share many of the same causes. Drunk driving or driving under the influence of other substances is the number one cause of fatalities. Drowsy driving and distracted driving (texting, eating, adjusting the radio) are increasing contributors to serious injury. Speeding, improper lane change and other driving technique errors are also very significant factors.
These human error related causes come before other dangers out of anyone’s control: bad weather, icy roads, and other unexpected environmental circumstances can also contribute to dangerous conditions. Driving is a risky activity, and it is imperative that all drivers remain focused and alert while operating a vehicle to avoid any of these frightening crashes.
