Common Causes of Car Wrecks in Mississippi
Every auto accident is unique and may have been caused by one or many factors. Some stem from driver negligence, while others may be outside of a driver’s control. Identifying the cause of the accident is an essential part of handling your claim, as this will help us determine who should be held liable (legally responsible) for your injuries or losses. Typically, the at-fault party’s insurance provider will pay damages, but we must negotiate or litigate for a fair settlement or award.
The following are potential causes of car accidents:
- Driver error or negligence
- Failure to properly service or maintain a vehicle
- Aggressive driving and road rage
