Avoiding an Auto Accident: Do Your Part

Cory Watson AttorneysBy Cory Watson Attorneys | January 4th, 2016

Every time you step into a vehicle, you face the risk of being involved in a traffic accident. There are some behaviors that can increase a driver’s chances of being involved in a crash. The car accident attorneys at Cory Watson explain what some of these dangers are, as well as what drivers can do to avoid them.

Common Accident Causes

  • Speeding. It’s estimated that one-third of all fatal auto accidents involve a vehicle that was traveling faster than the posted speed limit. Steer clear of speeding by always obeying the posted speed limit. Use cruise control in vehicles that are equipped with the feature to help monitor your speed.
  • Drunk Driving. Those who operate vehicles while under the influence of alcohol or drugs are responsible for roughly 30 percent of all fatal collisions in the United States. Drivers can help prevent drunk driving accidents by designating a sober driver to get home safely. If a sober ride isn’t available, try a ride-sharing service such as Uber or Lyft.
  • Distracted Driving. A growing number of serious car accidents have been attributed to a driver’s failure to focus on the road. Avoid this type of collision by refraining from texting and driving, eating or drinking in the car, adjusting the stereo while driving, and limiting the number of passengers who are in the vehicle.

Stay Safe While Driving

Taking a few simple precautions can significantly reduce the chances of your involvement in a Birmingham auto accident. If you are involved in an automobile accident, it’s important to know your rights. Contact the experienced attorneys at Cory Watson today!
