Lansing, MI - Some roads seem to be accident magnets while others are relatively calm. Though people can deem this as luck, The Clark Law Office says it's about understanding the patterns and behaviors that lead to motor vehicle crashes.
Since auto accidents account for many injuries and fatalities locally, nationally, and globally, the Personal injury attorney investigates frequent traffic accidents identified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Institute (NHTSA) and highlights how to prevent them.
A rear-end collision is the most common type of car crash and the leading cause of motor vehicle fatalities. It occurs when one vehicle crashes into the back of another caused by distracted driving or tailgating, resulting in dented bumpers and whiplash injuries. Prevention tips include maintaining a safe following distance, anticipating traffic flow, reducing speed, and adapting to road conditions.
Collisions with fixed objects, poor weather conditions (hitting a patch of black ice), and losing control due to impaired/reckless driving cause single-vehicle crashes. The Clark Law Office recommends slowing down in poor weather and leveraging defensive driving practices to evade a situation.
Low-speed accidents like those during rush hour or in parking lots may seem minor but can still lead to injuries and vehicle damage. They occur at a moment’s notice when drivers fail to notice a pedestrian, another car, or a pet. Therefore, individuals should maintain high levels of alertness in crowded areas, identify children who may dart out unexpectedly, and ensure the path is clear when reversing.
Other traffic accidents include T-bone/side-impact collisions, merging and lane change accidents, night driving, head-on collisions, and negligence. No matter the type of accident, The Clark Law Office advises drivers to stay at the scene, call law enforcement, collect information about the parties involved, document using photos/videos, and speak to a personal injury attorney for legal guidance.
