  • The Importance of Proper Insurance in Auto Accidents
    Despite the fact that it is the law to have sufficient insurance for a car, not everyone follows this law. Uninsured or underinsured drivers are becoming a bigger threat in the case of automobile accidents every year. If an underinsured or uninsured driver gets into a car wreck and is at fault, then they are liable for the costs of the accident, despite the fact that they don't have insurance.
  • Operating an Automobile and Talking on a Cell Phone Can be Risky
    As cell phones have tripled in use over the last decade, so has their popularity. Individuals find cell phones to provide convenience to their lives, however, many individuals who use cell phones while operating a vehicle actually increase the risk of being involved in an accident. Several studies in recent years have discovered that cell phone use in automobiles can be deadly.
  • Liability in Bus Accidents Can be Confusing
    Although buses are deemed to be safer than cars, fatal accidents are wont to occur. However, some states still do not require buses to be equipped with seat belts. In the event of a bus accident, it is not always clear who is to blame. Often the driver may be at fault, but laws in some states can protect the drivers in the case of an accident. Public transportation is often run by a "Common carrier", which tends to be run by the government.
  • Inadequate Tires: a Danger to Drivers
    Tire failure often plays a small or large part in auto accidents that cause serious injuries or death. Tire failure can occur in several different ways including tire blowout injury, sidewall zipper failure, and tread separation. In most cases, these malfunctions are the fault of the tire manufacturer. All of these can pose a possibly fatal risk to the driver.
  • Determining Fault in an Auto Accident
    When an automobile accident occurs, it can be a frightening and confusing situation, which is why it is imperative for individuals to know the law and preexisting "fault" situations for the state an individual lives in. Not one state has a completely "no fault" policy, but almost all states and insurances vary in coverage and in the laws.
  • Cars and Cell Phones Make a Deadly Equation
    Technology in modern times has made it easy to communicate wherever we may be, including while driving our cars. However, cell phone usage by drivers has dramatically increased the risk of a car accident. Using a cell phone while operating a vehicle lowers awareness and decreases the reaction time of the driver. In the case of an accident involving a cellular phone, legal action can be taken.
