Few car accidents are “accidents” in the strictest sense of the word. And, when someone is seriously injured by the negligence of another driver, he or she deserves to be compensated for their injuries, pain and suffering, lost wages and other losses caused by a serious or fatal car accident in Southwest Florida.

THE TOP 6 CAUSES OF CAR ACCIDENTS

• Distracted Drivers: Are a cause of as many as half of all traffic accidents. Distractions include cell phones, stereos, eating, talking, applying makeup or engaging in other activities that take a driver’s eyes from the road.
• Driver Fatigue: Drowsy drivers account for about 100,000 accidents each year in the United States.
• Drunk Driving: Nationwide, drunk drivers account for about 1 of every 3 traffic fatalities. If you or a loved one is injured in a Naples drunk driving accident, please contact a qualified personal injury lawyer to discuss your rights right away.
• Speeding: Speeding not only reduces the amount of time available to avoid a crash, it increases the risk of a crash and makes a traffic accident more severe when it does occur. An accident at 60 mph generates twice the force of impact as a crash at 40 mph.
• Aggressive Driving: Is a senseless cause of a large number of car accidents. Aggressive driving includes tailgating, flashing lights, inappropriate passing, speeding, sudden braking, rude gestures, disregard of traffic signals and even verbal or physical assault.
• Weather: Heavy rain, fog and high winds can all contribute to car accidents in Southwest Florida. While motorists should pull to the side of the road and wait for conditions to clear, too often drivers continue to drive in poor conditions and an accident results.
