If you or a loved one has experienced a serious injury or wrongful death as the result of a car accident, you may be able to seek financial compensation from the liable party. A car accident attorney can collect evidence and interview eyewitnesses in order to support your claim and ensure fair compensation regardless of who is at fault.
You do not have to go through this process alone. Call our Winter Garden personal injury lawyer today to get started with a free consultation.
Traffic Accident Caused by Negligent Driving
If the driver responsible for your accident engaged in dangerous behaviors before or during the auto accident, they may have acted negligently. Some actions by drivers that may qualify as negligence include:
- Speeding
- Changing lanes abruptly or without signaling
- Failing to yield to oncoming traffic
- Failing to stop at stop signs or red lights
- Engaging in distracted driving (such as texting)
- Driving while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or fatigue
These are just a few of the actions a motorist can take that put other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians at risk. These behaviors may qualify as violations of one’s duty of reasonable care—a responsibility that each driver has not to put others at risk of harm.
If the items listed above or any other dangerous behaviors contributed to a car wreck that resulted in injuries, call the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine for a free consultation.
