Negligent Drivers Cause Most Motor Vehicle Accidents
Driver negligence is the most common factor in most motor vehicle accident cases. Negligent drivers can be held financially responsible for the injuries they cause. When you seek compensation from a negligent driver, you are really up against the driver’s insurance company. Insurance companies work hard to avoid paying claims or pay far less than claims are worth. They have teams of dedicated attorneys (both in-house and with outside law firms) who focus on nothing but standing between you and your money. The Law Office of Curtis Floyd is here to level the playing field for you.
Examples of driver negligence include:
- Distracted driving, including texting and talking on the phone
- Speeding or driving too fast for weather, road, or traffic conditions
- Following too closely
- Drunk driving
- Intoxication with prescription, over-the-counter (OTC), or recreational drugs
- Drowsy or fatigued driving
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Failure to yield
- Failure to use turn signals
- Failure to dim headlights
- Failure to maintain lane
- Unsafe passing
- Racing
- Failure to use caution in construction or school zones
- Improper passing of school buses
- Failure to yield to pedestrians in crosswalk
Defective Vehicles
Defective vehicles cause far too many accidents in the U.S. Although the automakers seem to issue recalls when defects are discovered, there has been a terrible pattern of hiding and denying defects and allowing dangerous and deadly vehicles to remain on the market and on the roads for years after a defect has been discovered. Our Bakersfield motor vehicle accident lawyers will fight for full and fair compensation for your defective vehicle accident injuries.
