Common types of car accidents we handle
At Reynaldo Diaz Accident Injury Attorney PC, we understand the many different types of car accidents and their potential to cause severe harm. Whether it’s a collision with a commercial vehicle or the result of distracted driving, each situation requires careful legal attention to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
Here Are Some of the Types of Car Accidents We Handle:
Commercial vehicle accidents
Accidents involving large commercial vehicles, such as trucks or delivery vans, often result in serious injuries due to the size and weight of these vehicles. These accidents can be caused by driver negligence, improper loading, or equipment failure.
Distracted driving accidents
Distractions such as texting, talking on the phone, or eating behind the wheel are significant causes of accidents. Drivers who fail to keep their focus on the road increase the likelihood of dangerous and potentially fatal crashes.
Drunk driving accidents
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs impairs judgment, reaction time, and coordination. Drunk driving accidents often result in severe injuries and are typically considered criminal offenses in addition to civil claims.
Fatigued driving accidents
Drowsy drivers have slower reaction times, impaired decision-making abilities, and reduced awareness, which increases their risk of accidents. Fatigue-related crashes are especially dangerous on long trips or at night.
Hit & run accidents
In hit-and-run accidents, the at-fault driver flees the scene, leaving the victim with property damage and injuries. These cases can be complicated, but experienced attorneys can help track down the responsible party and help secure the compensation you need.
Intersection accidents
Accidents at intersections are common due to failure to yield, running red lights, or not following traffic signals. These accidents often involve side-impact or T-bone collisions, which can cause significant injuries.
Multi-vehicle accidents
Multi-vehicle accidents can occur when one car causes a chain reaction involving several other vehicles. Determining liability in these cases can be complex, as multiple drivers may be at fault.
Pedestrian accidents
When drivers fail to yield to pedestrians, accidents can result in serious injuries or fatalities. These accidents often happen at crosswalks or intersections, where pedestrians may have the right of way.
Rear-end accidents
Rear-end accidents typically happen when one vehicle follows another too closely or when the lead driver suddenly stops. These accidents can cause whiplash and other neck or back injuries, even at low speeds.
Rollover accidents
Rollover accidents often occur in vehicles that are top-heavy or in situations where drivers lose control of the vehicle. These crashes can lead to serious injuries, especially if the vehicle rolls multiple times.
Side impact accidents
Also known as T-bone accidents, side-impact collisions occur when one vehicle strikes the side of another. These accidents often result in significant injuries, particularly for passengers seated on the side of the impact.
Texting & driving accidents
Texting while driving is a dangerous distraction that significantly increases the risk of accidents. These crashes happen when a driver takes their eyes off the road to read or send a text message.
Uninsured & underinsured motorists
If you’re involved in an accident with a driver who has little to no insurance coverage, you may face difficulty recovering your costs. In such cases, having an attorney helps you navigate the complexities of uninsured or underinsured motorist claims.
Steps to take immediately after a car accident:
- Ensure safety by moving to a safe location, if possible
- Call the police to report the accident and file a report
- Exchange information with the other driver, including contact and insurance details
- Take photographs of the scene, vehicle damage, and any injuries
- Seek medical attention, even if you don’t feel injured
- Document witness statements and contact information
- Notify your insurance company about the accident
- Avoid admitting fault or making detailed statements to others
- Contact a car accident attorney to discuss your legal options
- Keep a record of all medical treatments and expenses related to the accident
