Belleair Auto Accident Attorney
Between 40,000 and 50,000 Americans die in auto accidents every year. Hundreds thousands more are catastrophically injured, leaving victims with traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage, while more still are seriously injured in other ways, such as receiving fractured legs, broken ribs, and facial lacerations. These injuries demand expensive medical attention, time away from work, and other economic and non economic expenses. As such, victims of auto accidents deserve to be fairly compensated from the party who causes the crash. This is only possible by working with an experienced Belleair auto accident attorney. Here at The Reep Law Firm, our attorneys have experience handling every type of auto accident there is and are here for you in your time of need.
The Three Most Common Causes of Belleair Auto Accidents
- Distracted Driving—Distracted driving is, without a doubt, the most common contributor to auto collisions. Almost all of us engage in some form of distracted driving every single time we get behind the wheel, whether it’s adjusting the radio, talking on the phone, or using GPS. While many forms of distracted driving are fully legal, such as eating or drinking while driving, they still pose a threat to other road users because they take the driver’s eyes or mind off the road, or the driver’s hands off the wheel. Cell phones and other electronic devices have made distracted driving significantly worse over the past decade, and there seems to be no real solution in sight.
- Aggressive Driving—You may not think of it as aggressive driving, but speeding is a form of aggressive—and sometimes road rage—driving. Other forms of aggressive driving include making lane changes without using a turn signal, intentionally coming too close or tailgating other drivers, and refusing to allow another driver to merge.
- Drunk Driving—Drunk drivers take the lives of around 10,000 people a year. Many of these victims are pedestrians. If you were involved in a collision with a drunk driver, you still need to work with an attorney in order to receive the compensation you actually deserve, not the compensation the other party’s insurance company says you deserve.
