Common Causes of Montgomery Car Accidents

The victims of Montgomery car accidents can be left dealing with serious injuries that prevent them from working and a car that can no longer run. Many car accidents are the result of distracted or impaired drivers, drowsy drivers, inexperienced drivers and many other circumstances. Other causes include the following:

Drunk Driving

Drinking and driving is a serious problem that continues to plague our nation. Despite the numerous campaigns and media attention, impaired driving due to alcohol or drugs still contributes to thousands of accidents in Alabama every month. This is an alarming statistic that should not be taken lightly.

Everyone needs to take responsibility for their actions when it comes to drinking and driving. If you drink, have a designated driver or take a cab home. Your life, or someone else's, could be at stake if you make the wrong decision. Drive wisely and remember the consequences of drinking and driving before getting behind the wheel.

Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is a severe issue in Montgomery and across the nation. The most common distraction is the cell phone, which can be used for texting, calling, surfing the internet, and social media. This type of distraction takes a driver’s eyes, hands, and mind off the road and increases the risk of an accident. However, many other distractions, such as

  • eating
  • drinking
  • grooming
  • or listening to music, can be just as dangerous.

Anything that takes your attention away from the road, even for a second, can increase your chances of getting into an accident and injuring yourself or someone else.

Road Defects

Road defects in Montgomery can cause car accidents by creating dangerous driving conditions. Potholes, cracks in the pavement, and other imperfections can interfere with a car’s handling, sending them into unsafe situations on the road. Poorly lit roads increase this risk because drivers may not have enough time to react to incoming hazards adequately.

Vehicle Defects

Vehicle defects can cause car accidents in Montgomery because faulty brakes and worn tires may not be able to handle the roads. Furthermore, there could be an electrical issue that results in headlights or brake lights not working correctly and causing confusion on the road leading to more crashes.

Vehicle defects are severe issues since they can result in life-threatening injuries, fatalities,  and property damage. Therefore, vehicle owners need to ensure that their cars are always well maintained for the safety of all motorists.

Aggressive Drivers

Aggressive drivers can cause car accidents in Montgomery by:

  • tailgating
  • running stop signs
  • failing to signal when changing lanes
  •  or turning and traveling at high speeds.

These actions can lead to other drivers slamming on their brakes abruptly or having to take evasive action to avoid being hit. As a result, these types of divers are more likely to be involved in an accident in Montgomery than those who drive with more caution and skill.

Most Common Injuries Sustained in Car Crash

There are many injuries associated with car accidents. Some of them are:

Whiplash

Whiplash occurs when the impact of the crash causes the head and neck to jerk back and forth violently. The patient can wind up suffering from headaches, dizziness, trouble concentrating, trouble remembering things and even problems with balance.

Muscle Strains

A strain is when a muscle or tendon is stretched or torn. In car accidents, this injury most often occurs in the victim’s back.

Contusions

A contusion occurs when the capillary underneath the skin bursts. This leads to discoloration of the skin, a bruise, and can be very painful. While a contusion will heal in time on the outside of the skin, the muscles or tendons underneath the skin could very well suffer permanent damage.

Broken Bones

From broken ribs to broken legs, broken bones are common car accident injuries.

Sprains

A sprain occurs when a muscle or tendon is stretched or torn. A sprain occurs most often in the arm, wrist, knee or ankle. It can be an excruciating injury that prevents you from completing simple daily tasks.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an alteration in brain function that results from a bump, blow or jolt to the head. It is usually caused by a strong force, such as falling and hitting your head or being involved in a car accident. TBI can range from mild to severe and can cause physical and emotional changes.

Symptoms vary widely, depending on the severity of the injury and could include:

  • changes in mood or behavior
  • headaches
  • dizziness
  • fatigue
  • and memory problems.

Treatment for TBI typically involves physical therapy and cognitive rehabilitation.
