Car accidents come in every form, shape, and size, but there are some causes that are far more common than others. If another driver’s negligence (of any kind) leaves you injured in a car accident, don’t wait to consult with an experienced Kansas City car accident attorney.

Driver Negligence

The majority of serious car accidents are caused by driver negligence, and the five most common types are:

  • Excess speed – Speed plays an essential role in far too many fatal car crashes.
  • Distraction – Motorists who don’t pay adequate attention to the task of driving safely often cause dangerous car accidents.
  • Impairment – Drunk drivers suffer cognitive, physical, and sensory impairments that make them exceptionally dangerous drivers.
  • Exhaustion – Drowsy drivers suffer impairments that are very similar to those of drunk drivers.
  • Aggression – Aggressive drivers turn dangerous driving up a notch or two and are some of the most dangerous drivers out there.
