Car Accident Law – Drunk Drivers

During a case arising from a drunk driving accident, in addition to the intoxicated driver’s responsibilities for the injuries he or she caused, the accident injury attorneys recommended that the bar owner who served an obviously intoxicated guest is also chargeable for damages. Because the accident injury attorneys understand very clearly about the laws, they can help you identify who might be held responsible for your injuries. On average, every nearly 1 hour, there is someone dies in a crash related to alcohol. Last year, there were over one million people that were injured in traffic crashes related to alcohol.

In some certain cases, the driver obviously did not cause accidents. For example, because of a defect in someone’s car, a car accident may occur. In such a case, the car manufacturer or supplier may be responsible for injuries that are caused by the defect in the car under the law of product liability. If the manufacturer creates defective products in manufacturing, designing, or labeling, the responsibility for any injuries the product causes will belong to the manufacturer. Because the manufacturer was negligent, besides the reason for drunk driving, you need to consider the other factors, such as poor infrastructures and broken traffic control signals, that can contribute to causing an accident as well. Improper design, construction, maintenance, lighting, signage or other highway defects can also cause serious accidents. In these cases, the government may be responsible for the accidents. Accident injury attorneys can use special rules to make claims against the government. However, proper legal law is critical to winning such cases.

If you or your friend has suffered a car accident injury, the accident injury attorneys will ask some important questions. Reviewing your claim with an attorney can help you identify clearly who was negligent and whether that negligence caused your injury. That’s why a good first step is to contact the accident injury attorneys for free claim advice. The attorney can evaluate the level of your case and help you decide what to do next.

Was Your Workers’ Compensation Claim Denied?

Was Your Workers’ Compensation Claim Denied?

It’s always a frightening experience for workers and their families when their claim for workers’ compensation benefits is denied. Sometimes, an employer’s insurance company doesn’t want to pay the total cost of the treatment the injured worker needs. The employer and insurance company deny that workers’ compensation covers the injury or illness. More about McAllen Workers Compensation Lawyers here
Whatever the situation, when you have been denied worker’s comp benefits, you may face huge medical bills and other expenses and worry about how you and your family will pay for them.

Some common reasons claims may be denied:

Your employer says that workers’ compensation does not cover your injury.
Your employer says your injury did not happen during work hours.
Your employer’s insurance company argues that the injury was not as serious as you know it to be.

Fortunately, the workers’ compensation system provides ways for injured workers to continue to pursue their claims after an initial denial. However, the workers’ comp appeals process has many deadlines, technical requirements, and legal complications. Moreover, during the process, the other side may offer workers’ compensation settlements that are insufficient to cover all your expenses. It’s essential to have the help of a qualified workers’ compensation lawyer during this part of the process.

At our Law Firm, we help employees after their employers have failed to honor the legitimacy of their workers’ compensation claims.

Personal Injury Law: Car Accidents-Common Causes

This Blog was brought to you by the Carabin Shaw Law Firm Personal Injury Lawyer San Antonio

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents

Many people know that traveling in a commercial airplane is much safer than traveling in a motor vehicle. In fact, automobiles are the most deadly form of transportation in America. Statistically, every American will be in an auto accident at least once in his or her lifetime. But most of the transportation fatalities and injuries we sustain could be prevented with a combination of better driving and stricter safety standards from the auto industry and the government. More about our San Antonio Car Accident Attorney here

A private nonprofit organization reports that 95 percent of auto accidents are caused by driver error. In a study, examiners found that the number-one cause of auto accidents in the drivers they studied was driver distractions. Most accidents and near-misses in the study happened within three seconds of some kind of distraction, they found. Some common causes of distraction the study found were:

sleepiness, which was a factor in a shocking percent of crashes.
Dialing or talking on a handheld device such as a cell phone.
Reading while driving.
Eating.
Putting on makeup.
Reaching for something inside the car.
Staring at something outside the car.

Another common cause of serious accidents is alcohol consumption. Driving drunk is strongly correlated with speeding, driving without a license and having a previous DUI. The vast majority of alcohol-related crashes happen just after midnight — Most of all fatal crashes and injury crashes happen during those times. And while 47 percent of single-vehicle crash fatalities are alcohol-related, more than a quarter of multiple-vehicle fatalities involve alcohol as well-meaning drunk driving is a significant threat to other motorists on the road.

When an auto accident occurs, it’s most likely to be a collision with another auto. While not all young men are irresponsible drivers, study after study shows that youth and maleness are correlated with an increased number of car accidents. In fact, for every age group, the male involvement rate in accidents is higher. And among females, the younger age groups had significantly higher involvement rates. The rates for injury crashes tell a similar story. The drivers with the lowest involvement in fatal accidents were ages 55 through 64; the drivers with the lowest injury accident rates were the oldest drivers, at 74 and older.

The same study tracked factors cited by law enforcement as contributing to a crash. The most common factor cited for all fatal accidents was failure to stay in the correct lane (including running off the road). Right behind it was speeding or racing. Driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication was also common, followed by failure to yield the right of way, inattention, carelessness, and failure to obey traffic signals

Defective autos and auto parts cause a relatively small amount of accidents, but the consequences can be staggering for innocent drivers and passengers who trusted manufacturers not to offer them an unsafe product. From 1983 to 2022, there have been:
19,686 vehicle recalls, affecting 776.42 million people
2,303 equipment recalls affecting 207.51 million people
442 tire recalls affecting 36.43 people
220 child seats affecting 60.39 people

Wrong-Way Accident Causes

Wrong-way accidents occur on one-way roadways, such as divided highways, on and off ramps, and one-way streets.

Wrong-way accidents may be entirely the fault of the driver or might involve outside factors.

Improper or poorly visible signage, ineffective highway lighting, construction zone markings, or other highway factors often cause drivers to become confused about where they are supposed to drive.
Factors that can cause wrong way driving decisions include distractions like cell phones, programming GPS and other devices, changing CDs, multitasking, trying to figure out directions to a destination, eating or drinking and other activities.
The driver might have been intoxicated with drugs, alcohol, or prescription medications.
The driver might have had a medical condition that caused him to become confused, blurred his vision, or made him dizzy or faint. He might have been fatigued.
Occasionally a driver will choose to go the wrong way. Maybe they were looking for a shortcut because they had taken a wrong turn or were in a hurry. Maybe they wanted to avoid heavy traffic on the correct route. Maybe they were thrill-seeking or even suicidal.
Our job is to find out how and why your accident occurred and get a settlement that compensates you for your injuries and losses. We will investigate all possible causes and contributors to your accident, develop the most thorough estimate of present and future expenses, and fight diligently to obtain this award.
