Leading Causes of Auto Accidents

There are a number of factors that can result in car accidents, including:

  • Drunk driving
  • Driver distraction (talking on a cell phone, texting or messing with the radio
  •  Exhaustion, falling asleep at the wheel
  • Auto defects (defective tires, faulty brakes, sticky gas pedals)
  • Dangerous road conditions (pot holes, debris in the road and dangerous construction zones)
  • Harsh weather (heavy rain, snow, fog)

If you are involved in a serious auto accident and you believe it was caused by another’s negligent or careless actions, you should speak with an attorney about the possibility of collecting compensation for your present and future medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.

At the Berkowitz Law Firm, we advocate for people that are injured in car accidents and fight to ensure they recover the maximum amount of compensation possible. We will conduct a thorough investigation to determine what happened and why and will make sure that wrongdoing is exposed.
