Auto Accident Causes
Auto accidents can be very confusing. Sometimes the real cause of an accident is not as obvious as it seems. If a defective vehicle or roadway defect caused your accident it can be very misleading, making it appear that you or the other driver was at fault. Common causes of auto accidents include:
- Driver negligence
- Distracted drivers
- Defective vehicle
- Intoxication
- Excessive speed
- Hazardous weather conditions
- Defective roadways, such as malfunctioning traffic signal
Compensation for Your Accident
If you have been injured in an auto accident due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, you may be entitled to compensation including:
- Medical bills
- Future medical bills
- Long term care
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Permanent disability
- Disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
If you or a loved one has been injured in an auto accident, please call our Austin auto accident attorneys or submit an online questionnaire. The initial consultation with our personal injury lawyers is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, in most cases we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a personal injury lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
