What are single-vehicle auto accidents?
Single-vehicle auto accidents are accidents that involve just one vehicle. These can happen while on the road with others or while a motorist is all alone on the road.
Common Causes of Single-Vehicle Auto Accidents
While drunk driving and failure to follow the rules of the road can contribute to single-vehicle auto accidents occurring, those are not the sole causes. Sometimes these kinds of accidents are caused by circumstances beyond a driver's control, such as:
- Inclement weather
- Poor road conditions
- Bad traffic signals
- Auto part defects
- Vehicle malfunction
- Poor vehicle maintenance
What are multi-vehicle auto accidnets?
Multiple-vehicle auto accidents refer to cases in which two or more vehicles are involved in a collision or incident of some kind. Our auto accident attorneys have been asked to assist in both single and multi-vehicle auto accident cases, whether they involve commuter vehicles, commercial vehicles, or mass transit.
Common Causes of Multi-Vehicle Auto Accidents
There are a wide range of things that can cause a multiple-vehicle auto accidents. In addition to the above causes of single-vehicle auto accidents, multi-vehicle auto accidents can be caused by:
- Driver error
- Failure to observe the right of way
- Failure to signal while merging or turning
- Speeding
- Driver fatigue
- Texting while driving
Are multi-vehicle accidents more serious?
Both single-vehicle and multiple-vehicle auto accidents can be serious, though when more vehicles are involved in an accident, the likelihood of serious injury and fatalities does increase.
