Primary causes of auto accidents in New Jersey
Car accidents do not just happen. They occur because someone has acted negligently. The problem is that you have the burden of proof to identify the negligent actor and demonstrating what they did wrong to cause your injuries. This burden is not to be taken lightly. Our detail-oriented New Jersey auto accident attorneys leave no stone unturned when it comes to discovering evidence for your case. We convincingly prove the causes of accidents so that we can focus on proving the damages you are owed. The most common causes of auto accidents in New Jersey include:
- Distracted driving
- Drunk driving
- Driving unsafely in inclement weather
- Ignoring traffic signs
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Failures to yield
- Driving at unsafe distances
- Running red lights
What should you do after an accident?
The first thing to do is call 911. The police should make a report of the incident while they are there. The most important thing for you to do after an accident is to get medical attention for your injuries. Even if you think you feel fine, there is often devastating shock and damage done to your body that you may not initially feel. Getting checked out begins a record of the injury that protects you from insurance companies claiming that you were fine after the collision. Before you call the insurance company, make sure that you call our New Jersey auto accident attorneys. Insurance companies record everything you say and will try to use your words against you when it comes time to pay you damages.
