What Are the Most Common Causes of Car Accidents?
Car accidents can happen for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common causes of car accidents include:
- Distracted Driving: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving is a leading cause of car accidents in the United States. In fact, in 2018, there were 2,841 people killed in distracted driving accidents. Distracted driving can include anything that takes a driver’s attention away from the road, including texting, talking on the phone, eating, drinking, talking to passengers, and more.
- Drunk Driving: Drunk driving is another leading cause of car accidents in the United States. According to the NHTSA, there were 10,511 people killed in drunk driving accidents in 2018. In Michigan, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or higher. If a driver is under the age of 21, it is illegal to drive with a BAC of .02% or higher.
- Speeding: Speeding is a factor in nearly one-third of all fatal car accidents in the United States. When a driver is speeding, they have less time to react to a dangerous situation, and the force of impact in a crash is greater.
- Reckless Driving: Reckless driving can include a variety of dangerous behaviors, including speeding, tailgating, running red lights, and more. When a driver is engaging in reckless driving, they are putting themselves and others at risk.
- Weather Conditions: Weather conditions can also contribute to car accidents. In Michigan, we see our fair share of snow and ice, which can make the roads slippery and dangerous. When the weather is bad, it is important to slow down and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination.
- Defective Auto Parts: Sometimes, car accidents are caused by defective auto parts. For example, if a driver’s brakes fail, they may be unable to stop in time to avoid a collision. In these cases, the manufacturer of the defective auto part may be held liable.

How Can a Car Accident Lawyer in Grand Rapids Help Me?
After a car accident, you may be wondering whether you need to hire a car accident lawyer in Michigan. While you are not required to have an attorney represent you, it is generally in your best interest to do so. Here’s why:
- Investigation: To recover compensation after a car accident, you will need to prove that the other driver was at fault. This can be difficult to do, especially if you are still recovering from your injuries. An attorney can conduct a thorough investigation into the accident, gather evidence, and identify all potentially liable parties.
- Valuing Your Claim: An attorney can help you understand the full value of your claim. This includes not only your current medical expenses and lost wages, but also any future medical treatment you may need and any future loss of earning capacity.
- Negotiating with the Insurance Company: Insurance companies are in the business of making money, and they will do everything they can to minimize their liability. An attorney can handle all communication with the insurance company and negotiate for a fair settlement on your behalf.
- Filing a Lawsuit: If the insurance company refuses to make a fair settlement offer, an attorney can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
Contact us today at (888) 211-5798. Our Grand Rapids car accident lawyers know what it takes to win, and we are prepared to fight for you.
