What Causes Car Accidents?
As we mentioned at the top of the page, negligent driving behaviors cause car accidents. When people drink and drive, text and drive, and drive carelessly, people get hurt.
Other causes of car accidents include, but are not limited to:
- Speeding
- Tailgating
- Failing to yield
- Aggressive driving
- Unsafe lane changes
- Improper turns
- Defective car parts
Anytime you are in an accident that is someone else’s fault, you may be eligible for compensation. South Carolina is an at fault states with comparative negligence when it comes to car accident, which means the at-fault driver can be held liable for your injuries and other damages, as long as you were under 50% responsible for the accident yourself.
Understanding Damages
When you get in a car crash, the consequences are immediate and they can stack up quickly, especially in severe wrecks. The losses you suffer are referred to as damages and personal injury lawsuits aim to compensate you for damages.
Compensable damages include:
- Vehicle damage and property loss
- Medical bills (past and future)
- The costs of rehabilitative care
- Lose wages
- Lost earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Diminished or lost quality of life
Although money cannot solve all of these problems, it can help keep you comfortable as you recover from your accident and injury. Sometimes, you may also get punitive or exemplary damages, which are designed to punish the wrongdoer and make an example of them to prevent future wrongdoings.
The Law Office of Rhett Burney has a track record of results, and we are dedicated to pursuing maximum compensation on your behalf.
