The most common causes of serious injury and death in the united states each year result from auto accidents and collisions. Although advancements in technology have made vehicles and roads significantly safer. Automobile accidents remain a common occurrence. Advancements in safety technology and improvements in auto capabilities (I. E. 500 horsepower) have made anyone capable of driving a CAR a potential deadly weapon. Coupled with the increasingly hardline negotiations coming from insurance companies. Many injured persons simply cannot GET the recovery they deserve on their OWN. In fact. Auto accident lawsuits are among the most common type of civil tort case filed by attorneys today. It is important to note that NOT every CAR accident will result in litigation. Automobile accidents are founded in the principles of negligence. Negligence is generally defined AS the lack of ordinary care. It MAY arise from doing an ACT that a reasonably prudent person would NOT have done under the same circumstances. Or. From failing to DO an ACT that a reasonably prudent person would have done under the same circumstances. The most common types of automobile accidents are caused by driver NEGLIGENCE. AUTO accidents caused by negligence CAN arise under many situations. The most common cause of automobile accidents is driver error. Driver errors are often a result of failure to yield the right of WAY. Following TOO closely. Driving AT an excessive rate of speed. Driving while intoxicated and failure to SEE or obey traffic control devices. In the case of semi truck accidents. Many time TOO many hours on the road. AS seen in the drivers LOG. Will result in a SPLIT-SECOND mistake that results in the loss of lives to MANY. HOWEVER. These are NOT the only causes of auto accidents. AS a result of OUR multi tasked world. Distractions to a motor vehicle driver have become an increasing cause of accidents. Common distractions include: CAR driver uses a cellular phone. CAR driver attempts to read. CAR driver puts on makeup. CAR driver changes the radio station and numerous other distractions both inside and outside of the VEHICLE. OFTEN times. The responsibility for an auto accident does NOT rest with ONE single person. There CAN BE multiple factors which caused or contributed to an automobile accident. In some situations the accident simply results from both drivers’ negligence. In those situations a Missouri jury is permitted to compare and apportion the negligence of the plaintiff against that of the defendant and adjust its damage award to the plaintiff according to the degree of comparative negligence of the plaintiff. Thus. If a jury finds the plaintiff 35% responsible for an accident. The jury CAN reduce the Plaintiff’s recovery by 35%. In some situations, a jury CAN even find that an injured party is 100% responsible for a motor vehicle accident. If that is the case. The injured party will NOT BE entitled to a recovery from the other party. NO matter HOW badly injured HE/SHE is. However. There MAY BE limited recovery available under the medical payments provisions of your OWN insurance policy.
