Motorist Negligence Takes Many Forms
Despite knowing the dangers that a speeding vehicle poses to oneself and others, drivers regularly act in ways that put other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians at great risk. Some of the common forms of reckless behavior by motorists include:
- Following too closely to the car in front
- Speeding
- Changing lanes abruptly and without signaling
- Driving while drunk
- Driving while on drugs
- Texting, making phone calls, eating, drinking, or fiddling with the radio while driving
These are the most common, but not exclusive, forms of dangerous driving that may entitle you to damages if they were engaged in by the liable motorist in your accident. If you believe that your injuries or loved one’s death may have been caused by negligence, a lawyer can help you begin your case.
