Fatal Accidents in North Carolina
Drivers in North Carolina face great risks when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle. While it is common to develop a false sense of security in your vehicle, the number of negligent drivers on the roadways means that North Carolina car accidents will take place every day, and many of them will involve injuries to innocent victims. A serious crash can take place in an instant and can result in major injuries that can be life-changing. Current statistics show that nearly 80,000 people are hurt in crashes that take place in North Carolina each year.
Car accidents in North Carolina are caused by many different factors. Some common causes of crashes include speeding, reckless driving, impairment, and distraction. The severity of a crash often depends on the nature of the accident, the speed at which the collision takes place, and the number of vehicles involved. Head-on crashes, for instance, are some of the most deadly and dangerous accidents that we see on our roadways and they are often caused by negligent drivers.
If you have been injured in an accident, you could have important legal rights. Before speaking with the insurance company, you should contact a North Carolina car accident attorney for assistance.
