Carmel Car Accident attorneys
Millions of people are injured each year in car accidents. Often, these accidents are very serious. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that every 10 seconds someone in the United States is involved in an automobile accident. In 2005, there were approximately 6,159,000 police reported car crashes. In these accidents, 43,443 people were killed and approximately 2.7 million people were injured.

Car accidents are usually examined under the laws of negligence. This means a person who negligently operates a motor vehicle may be forced to pay any damages caused by their negligence, either to person or property. Normally, people who operate automobiles are legally required to exercise "reasonable care under the circumstances." Most automobile accident lawsuits are based on a failure to use reasonable care.
Courts look to numerous factors when deciding whether a driver was negligent while operating their vehicle. Some examples of these factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Driving too fast or too slow
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Failing to signal while turning
- Disregarding weather or traffic conditions
- Disobeying traffic signs or signals
- Failing to drive on the right side of the road
Also, a driver may be liable for an accident that resulted from reckless or intentional conduct. A driver who is reckless is one who drives unsafely, with willful and wanton disregard for the probability that the driving may result in an accident
In certain instances, car accidents are caused by factors unrelated to the actions of any specific driver. For example, under product liability laws, an automobile manufacturer or supplier may be liable for injuries caused by a defect or component in the automobile. This was exemplified throughout the Firestone tire litigation. A products liability lawsuit is brought against the seller of a product for selling a defective product that lead to a physical injury to a consumer or user of the product. Furthermore, if a manufacturer of a product creates a defective product, either in developing, designing or labeling the product, the manufacturer is legally responsible for any injures the product causes. This is the case regardless of whether or not the manufacturer was actually negligent.
