CAR ACCIDENTS IN US: Car Accidents

*Car Accidents [1]*

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people are involved in car
accidents, many of which result in significant injuries—even
death—to drivers [2] and passengers.

Car accidents [3] are the leading cause of death for Americans under
the age of thirty-four. It is estimated that each year, car accidents
[4] are responsible for over 40,000 deaths. Frighteningly, these
statistics indicate that you are likely to be involved in at least one
car accident [5] in your lifetime.

Car accidents [6] can mean collisions between cars, and also can occur
with other vehicles such as bicycles or trucks, with pedestrians, and
with stationary structures or objects, such as trees, guardrails or
road signs. The most common types of car accidents [7] are rear-end
collisions, side collisions, rollovers, head-on collisions, single-car
accidents [8] and pile-ups.

The most common factors that leading to car accidents [9] include:

· Driver distraction (eg, cell phone use, attempting to pick up
dropped items, etc.)

· Driver impairment by fatigue, illness, alcohol or drugs

· Mechanical failure (eg, blown tires, brake failure, etc.)

· Road conditions (eg, foreign obstacles on the road, wet or slick
roads, etc.)

· Speeding

When a car accident [10] occurred, usually the injured victim will
make a claim. In most of the cases it is the passengers of the car who
had personal injuries and claims made by them have greater chances of
success. However, if the car driver was responsible for the accident
[11], then he can't make the car accident [12] claim.

In a successful car accident [13] claim, the evidences that can prove
the victim's innocence and the negligence of the third party are
very important. Besides, the claim for a car accident [14] should be
filed within three years from [15] the date that the accident [16]
occurred.

As for the compensation, it will be made up of two parts. One is for
special damages, which refers to the compensation to loss of earnings,
medical costs and other general expenses; the other is for general
damages, which refers to the compensation that calculated by the judge
of the changed life of the victim as the result of the accident [17].
However, if the passenger was not wearing the seat belt or if he knew
that the driver was not fit for safe driving, the compensation might
be reduced.

In some cases, the driver at fault may not be insured, and in such
cases, the Motor Insurance Bureau will pay the compensation.

Everyone is likely to be involved in a car accident [18], and
statistics show that most people are involved in at least one car
accident [19] in their life. If you are injured in a car accident
[20], making a claim can ensure that you receive compensation for your
injury and lost earnings.

When you are involved in a car accident [21] that was not your fault,
the accident [22] should be immediately reported to the police and
insurance company. You should seek medical assistance as soon as
possible as well as collect evidences to support your claim. Evidence
can be the names and phone numbers of witnesses or photographs of the
accident [23] site.

Remember, in order to make a successful claim, you must collect enough
evidences that can prove your innocence. In addition, the claims for a
car accident [24] should be filed within three years from [25] the
date of the accident [26], so if you decided to make a claim, do as
soon as possible.

As a car accident [27] victim, you could seek legal help on a "no
win no fee" basis, which means you won't have to pay in the event
that you lose.

In cases where the driver at fault was uninsured, the Motor Insurance
Bureau will provide compensation to the victims of the uninsured or
untraced drivers [28].
