Common causes of auto accidents

Rear end collisions from poor road conditions

Most types of auto accidents are minor and happen at low speeds. By far the most common form of impact is a rear end collision. Typically this can happen when a driver suddenly stops then others crash behind them. This can happen due to poor road conditions or weather. Regardless of the reason, its important to use extreme care when road conditions are poor.

Driving under the influence

On today's roads there are many that get behind the wheel while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. This is a serious safety issue for the driver and others around them. If you hit someone on accident you may only get a simple traffic ticket. However if you hit someone and cause injury and you are in the influence of drugs and alcohol the charges may be much more strong. You may be found guilty of gross negligence. This is a much more serious charge and shows the driver got behind the wheel knowing it was unsafe. Whereas if drugs and alcohol were not involved it may have just been an accident.
