Causes of Car Accidents:
This list represents just a few of the many causes of automobile accidents.
1. Intoxication – the driver is impaired by drugs or alcohol
2. Driver error – Speeding, running red lights or stop signs, and talking on cell phones or other distractions are all examples of driver error
3. Bad weather – rain, fog, and other inclement weather can cause tires to lose traction or a reduction in visibility
4. Road Condition – Bad road conditions, such as: pot holes, debris in the road, poor visibility due to tree or grass overgrowth, can lead to serious accidents.
Death is a tragedy under any circumstance, but it is particularly tragic when it is believed that it was caused by the negligence of another person or by an intentional act. The family members left behind have the legal right to file a wrongful death suit if they believe their loved one died due to neglect or other intentional acts that led to death. They can sue for damages such as:
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of parental guidance
- Medical and funeral expenses
- Pain and suffering of the deceased and the deceased’s family
It is helpful to have a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney to assist with these types of suits. Andy Brister is accustomed to the legal actions that are necessary to get positive judgments for his clients.
