Common Causes
At Fried Rogers Goldberg LLC, we have extensive experience handling all types of personal injury cases. Representing clients throughout Atlanta, Marietta, and Roswell, Georgia, our motorcycle and car accident attorney group is skilled in proving driver negligence to hold the responsible parties accountable for damages. Some common causes of motorcycle and car accidents include:
- Driver Distractions
- Reckless / Aggressive Driving
- Exhaustion
- Driving Under the Influence
- Mechanical Failure
- Severe Weather and Road Conditions
Driver distractions are the most common causes of accidents on the road. When a driver is distracted and looks away from the road, even momentarily, he puts himself and other drivers and pedestrians at risk. These seemingly harmless, momentary lapses in driver safety can result from:
- Rubbernecking – slowing down to look at an accident or something on the road
- Cell phone use
- Eating
- Applying make-up / shaving
- Talking to passengers
- Looking at scenery
- Changing the radio station
If you or a loved one was injured in a motor vehicle collision, contact Fried Rogers Goldberg LLC, serving Marietta, Roswell, Atlanta, and all of Georgia. A skilled motorcycle and car accident attorney can help you obtain the compensation you deserve.
Reckless and aggressive drivers can cause a motorcycle or car accident that is difficult for other drivers to avoid. So, even if you are a safe driver who obeys traffic laws, you may still be involved in an accident. Examples of reckless driving that are considered in negligence cases include:
- Speeding
- Changing lanes excessively
- Tailgating
- Driving too slowly
- Failing to use turn signals
Driving while tired can be just as dangerous as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Oftentimes, serious personal injuries result from trucking accidents caused by a fatigued driver who has worked long hours to try to make a delivery or meet a deadline. Likewise, people driving long stretches of road late at night can easily fall asleep and trigger accidents.
Driving drunk or under the influence of drugs is illegal and hazardous to everyone on the road. If you or someone you love has been injured in a motorcycle accident or car accident, an attorney at Fried Rogers Goldberg LLC can help you pursue compensation for medical bills and other losses.
Sometimes accidents are caused by circumstances beyond the driver's control. In the case of a mechanical failure, the manufacturer of the car, motorcycle, or truck can be held responsible. If you are in the Marietta, Roswell, or Atlanta, Georgia area, a motorcycle and car accident attorney at Fried Rogers Goldberg LLC can analyze the circumstances of your accident to tell you if you might have a mechanical failure negligence case.
Severe Weather and Road Conditions
Driving in severe weather or encountering unexpected construction or poor road conditions can also cause a motorcycle or car accident with devastating consequences. An experienced attorney can advise you as to whether you have a valid personal injury case.
