How Driver Negligence Causes Car Accidents

Most car accidents are preventable. They often happen because a driver failed to follow basic safety rules or exercised poor judgment behind the wheel.

Speeding

Driving above the speed limit or too fast for road conditions reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes. Speeding-related collisions often lead to serious injuries because of the force involved.

Distracted Driving

Using a phone, adjusting navigation systems, eating, or interacting with passengers can pull attention away from the road. Even a few seconds of distraction can lead to devastating consequences.

DUI

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs slows reaction time, impairs judgment, and reduces a driver’s ability to safely control a vehicle. These crashes are often more severe and can involve complex legal and insurance issues, particularly when multiple parties, law enforcement findings, or long-term injuries are involved.

Fatigued Driving

Drowsy driving can be just as dangerous as impaired driving. Fatigue affects focus, coordination, and decision-making, especially during long drives or late-night hours.

Federal Hours of Service (HOS) rules are regulations that limit how long truckers and other commercial drivers can operate a vehicle before they are required to take rest breaks. These rules are designed to prevent driver fatigue by ensuring adequate time for sleep and recovery. When drivers violate HOS limits and stay on the road too long, it significantly increases the risk of serious accidents.

Running Stop Signs and Red Lights

Ignoring traffic signals puts everyone at risk, particularly at intersections where multiple streams of traffic converge and drivers expect others to obey the rules of the road. When a driver runs a stop sign or red light, the resulting collisions are often sudden and violent, frequently leading to serious injuries for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike.

Disobeying Traffic Laws

Failure to yield, improper passing, and ignoring posted signs can all lead to preventable crashes by disrupting the flow of traffic and creating unexpected hazards. These violations often leave other drivers with little time to react, increasing the likelihood of collisions that result in serious injuries.

Unsafe Turns

Making wide turns, turning from the wrong lane, or failing to check for oncoming traffic frequently causes side-impact collisions, which are among the most dangerous types of crashes. These accidents often occur at intersections or in busy traffic areas and can result in serious injuries because occupants have less protection on the sides of their vehicles.

Illegal Lane Changes

Sudden or improper lane changes can result in sideswipes or multi-vehicle crashes, especially in heavy traffic where drivers have limited space and time to react. These actions often create chain-reaction collisions that increase the risk of serious injuries and extensive vehicle damage.

Case Results

$550,000 Settlement: Car Crash / Appearance Altering Orthopedic Injury

State Farm initially represented that there was only one insurance policy in the amount of $100,000.00 to cover the teenager's claims and tendered that amount. We accepted the tender based on the representation that this was the only insurance policy available to satisfy the teenager's claims, but required, as a condition of settlement, that the Defendant sign an Affidavit under oath that this was the only policy. Approximately one month after the initial settlement, State Farm "located" another policy and an additional amount in the amount of $450,000.00 was paid to finally settle the case.

$250,000 - Automobile injuries

The plaintiff secured a $250,000 settlement for injuries sustained in an automobile accident. The collision, caused by the defendant's reckless driving, resulted in the plaintiff suffering multiple injuries that required extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. During the trial, compelling evidence was presented illustrating the defendant's blatant disregard for traffic laws and safety, leading to the accident. The settlement amount reflects the acknowledgment of the physical and emotional trauma endured by the plaintiff and emphasizes the necessity of responsible driving to ensure public safety on the roads.

Car Accident FAQs

How do I know if I need a car accident lawyer?

If you were injured, needed medical treatment, missed work, or are dealing with an insurance company that is disputing fault or minimizing your claim, speaking with a lawyer can be helpful. A consultation can clarify whether legal representation may benefit your situation.

What should I do after a car accident in Lithonia?

After seeking medical care, it is important to document what you can and avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies before getting legal guidance. A car accident attorney can step in early to help protect your rights and handle communications on your behalf.

How long do I have to take action after a car accident in Georgia?

Georgia law sets time limits for pursuing car accident claims. If you wait too long, you may lose the ability to recover compensation. Every case is different and there are exceptions. That’s why we strongly encourage you to speak with a qualified attorney about your claim as soon as possible.

What if the insurance company already offered me money?

Early offers often do not reflect the full impact of an accident, especially if future medical care or lost income is involved. Once an offer is accepted, you typically cannot ask for more later, so it is wise to have an attorney review any offer first.

Can I still have a case if I was partially at fault?

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may still be able to recover damages as long as you were not primarily responsible for the accident. An attorney can explain how this rule applies to your specific situation and fight back against unfair efforts to exaggerate your level of fault.

What types of damages may be available in a car accident case?

Depending on the facts, damages may include medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. A lawyer works to account for both current and future losses.

Will my car accident case go to a jury?

Many cases resolve through negotiation, but some require litigation. Grant Law Office prepares every case thoroughly so it is ready to be presented to a jury if that becomes necessary.

How can a lawyer help with insurance companies?

A car accident lawyer handles communications, pushes back against unfair tactics, gathers evidence, and works to present a clear picture of how the accident affected your life. This helps protect you from common insurance strategies.

How much does it cost to talk with Grant Law Office about a car accident?

Grant Law Office offers free consultations. This allows you to discuss your situation, ask questions, and learn about your options without financial pressure.

What makes Grant Law Office different from other car accident firms?

Clients work directly with a husband-and-wife legal team that prioritizes personal attention, thorough preparation, and strategic planning. The firm is not high volume, which allows each case to receive focused care and advocacy.
