When drivers are careless, innocent people suffer the consequences. Here at Melwani Law, we’ve seen the outcome of driver negligence firsthand. That’s why we’re so passionate about personal injury cases, as we believe it’s our duty to represent clients who can’t advocate for themselves.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
Many car accidents in New Mexico and elsewhere in the U.S. happen for one or more of the following reasons:
- Distracted Driving – Driving while texting is a major cause of car collisions. When preoccupied, inattentive motorists can make mistakes that lead to massive accidents.
- Reckless and/or Drunk Driving – Flouting the rules of the road and driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol puts other drivers at risk of serious injuries.
- Tailgating – Tailgating involves riding closely behind another vehicle. This can lead to rear-end accidents and substantial neck and head injuries.
- Poor Road Conditions – Potholes, faulty street signs, and other issues can make it hard for drivers to operate their vehicles safely.
- Vehicle Defects – In some cases, vehicle defects contribute to car crashes.
- Trucking Accidents – Commercial trucks must be operated carefully to avoid serious issues. When truckers drive while tired or inebriated, the results can be devastating.
