Auto Accident

Risky driver behaviors cause thousands of motor vehicle fatalities and hundreds of thousands of injuries each year. While most drivers see the risks and dangers in speeding, driving while drunk or impaired by drugs or fatigue, or not wearing a seatbelt, many distracted driving behaviors seem harmless and acceptable. Sipping a coffee, responding to a…

When it comes to driving, we expect everyone to be in control of their vehicles: both hands on the wheel, foot on the appropriate pedal, and attention on the road in front of them. Yet, these reasonable assumptions are changing as autonomous vehicles begin to fill up our highways and public streets. If these autonomous…

For years, we have been working on getting autonomous vehicles on the road. After all, the idea of being driven around by our cars is an appealing thought, but only if the vehicle can safely get us to where we need to be, and unfortunately, we have not yet developed the perfect way to do…

Driving in itself is a risky but necessary activity. That’s why there are strict rules and regulations when it comes to driving on public streets. These laws are in place to keep you and everyone around you safe while on the road. Over the past two years, there has been an increase of fatal, high-speed…

We all want our roads to be as safe as possible – not only for ourselves, but for our teenaged children just learning to drive, our school buses, and also our elderly loved ones.

When one car crashes into another, it’s often easy to determine who was at fault for the accident. But what happens when you are involved in an auto accident with more than two cars? Who is liable often becomes murky, and there are many variables to consider. It is even possible that more than one…

Few experiences are more frustrating than dealing with a “bad” driver. Maybe it’s the person in the left lane doing 5 mph below the speed limit with a blinker on, or the driver who keeps creeping up on your tail, only to fall back and do it again. Maybe it’s bumper-to-bumper traffic in the city,…

The majority of car crashes in the country involve only a single vehicle. When those crashes are fatal, determining the ultimate cause of the wreck can be difficult. When two vehicles are involved, the situation becomes much more complex; even with video evidence, there are now at least two versions of events and many more…
