What Are Some of the Causes of Chelsea Car Accidents?

When driving around the streets of New York City, you will see that a lot of traffic encompasses our city. On a daily basis, people are victims of accidents and they suffer minor to severe injuries. One of the main causes of car accidents is distracted driving. Any time that you are driving and not paying attention to the road, you’re a distracted driver. One of the main distractions in the car is texting while driving. In fact, texting and driving has become somewhat of an epidemic in our country and our great city. If you are hit by someone that is driving while on their phone, you have a strong case to prove their negligence. We have been seeing a sharp rise in these texting-related accidents.

Another cause of accidents is reckless driving. Whenever you choose to speed down the road, you are driving recklessly. If you intentionally are not following the laws of the road, you’re also driving recklessly. So if you are hit by someone that runs a red light, it is their fault that the accident occurred. They were being negligent because they weren’t following the rules of the road. Road rage may also be considered reckless driving because the driver has no regard for the safety of others. In fact, in that scenario drivers are using their cars as weapons.

Driving too fast for the given conditions is another common cause of car accidents in New York City. When the weather gets bad, it seems like people forget how to drive. When you have to deal with both congested traffic and slick roads, it’s easy to have an accident.

Last but not least, DUI accidents are one of the leading causes of injuries of automobile accidents. Those drivers under the influence should not be on the road and they jeopardize the safety of everyone else. There are other types of car accidents as well, but these are the four situations that we see the most often.

How Do You Handle Chelsea Car Accident Cases?

At the law offices of Michael J. Redenburg, Esq. P.C., we make our clients our number one priority. We intentionally carry fewer cases, so we don’t lose focus on what really matters. Many other NYC car accident lawyers in the area take every single case that walks through the door, even if they don’t have enough time to handle their workload. We know that you’ve been through a lot with your car accident, and we want to handle your case as efficiently as possible.

We use a combination of experience and courtroom skills to manage your case. It’s important that you contact us as soon as you leave your accident so we can start working toward your compensation. Personal injury lawsuits can get delayed depending on the insurance company and other involved parties, so we recommend that you contact a Chelsea car accident attorney right away.

When you come in for your consultation, make sure that you have all the details of your accident. Bring your police report, names of witnesses, any pictures you’ve taken of the scene, and any additional information that you think may be important. All the information that you provide starts a solid foundation for your case.

After your consultation, we will thoroughly investigate all the details of your case. This includes collecting witness testimony, hiring expert witnesses, talking to your insurance company, other involved parties, and filing all of your paperwork. We want the process to be simple so that you can focus on recovering from your accident.

What Are the Most Common Types of Car Accidents?

Car accidents can occur anywhere and at any time. Each road presents a different environment. For example, driving around the city will produce more rear-end accidents. However, this doesn’t mean that other accidents can’t happen. Some of the most common accidents are:

Rollover Vehicles

This is an extremely violent accident that occurs when one vehicle rolls over. This can include two vehicles, or it can happen when a vehicle runs off the road. Larger vehicles have a higher chance of rolling over than vehicles that are lower to the ground. Studies show that almost 85 percent of all rollover accidents result in fatalities.

Single Car Accident

During this accident, only one vehicle is involved. Most of these accidents occur when a vehicle runs off the road, over debris, into a structure, or they collide with animals. An example of a single car accident would be someone losing control of their car and running into a bridge.

Rear-End Collision

As we mentioned earlier, these accidents generally occur in traffic. A car will crash into a vehicle in front of them. Usually this happens because the driver of the second car isn’t paying attention. Weather can also affect the stop time of vehicles, which can cause these rear-end collisions.

Side-Impact Collision

These accidents are also referred to as T-bone collisions. Side-impact collisions can happen at intersections or parking lots. Injuries can be severe in this type of accident depending on where the cars collide.

Head-on Collision

A head-on collision is just like it sounds, where two cars struck each other head-on. These are some of the most dangerous accidents and they also have a high fatality rate. If you turn the wrong way up a one-way street, you could find yourself in a head-on collision. It’s important that you pay attention to all signs on the road to avoid potential accidents.

How Do You Determine Damages?

One of the biggest questions on your mind is how much money you are eligible to receive. There are many damages that we can seek to help you get the compensation you need to cover all of your injuries and damages. Each case is different, but some of the damages you could be entitled to are:

  • Current and future medical bills
  • Loss of wages
  • Loss of potential earnings
  • Property damage
  • And your diminished quality of life, including pain and suffering

Our mission is to make sure that you get an appropriate settlement to cover all of your expenses. You should be focused on recovering from your accident, not worrying about whether you’ll be able to pay your bills.
