Tuskegee Auto Accident Lawyers

The role of drivers in accidents

Frank M. Wilson, P.C. is an established law practice dedicated to serving clients in Montgomery, Bullock, and Macon counties injured in auto, truck, and other accidents.

With 30 years experience, our Tuskegee automobile accident lawyers understand the complicated factors that sometimes lead to a car or trucking accident. Vehicles of every type cause serious injury on Alabama roads. Common causes of traffic accidents include:

• Driver error
• Mechanical failure
• Road defect
• Inclement weather

Of these factors, driver error is the most prevalent cause of accidents on our roads. A quick drink or quick glance away from the road can lead to serious injury or death. Common driver errors include:

• Distracted driving: The Centers for Disease Prevention (CDC) estimate that 16 people are killed each day and over 1,000 people are injured due to distracted driving. Not limited to cell phone use or texting, any activity that takes hands off the wheel, eyes off the road, and attention off driving is capable of causing a fatality. Eating, listening to music, talking to a passenger—even being lost in thought—can cause people to lose their lives. The Tuskegee car accident lawyers at our firm aggressively pursue drivers distracted by cell phones or other causes.
• Fatigue: Inattention caused by fatigue is a common basis for vehicle accidents, especially trucking accidents. Long hours driving without a break lessens response time. Sleepy drivers are impaired drivers. Taking frequent breaks and stopping for sleep are important deterrents to fatigue related collisions in Alabama. And they are required by federal law.
• Intoxication: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates 30 people die daily on American roads as a result of drivers impaired by drugs or alcohol. The CDC estimates the cost of alcohol-related collisions is approximately $51 billion a year in the United States. According to the CDC, about 4 percent of American drivers are addicted to alcohol, and an additional 25 percent drink to excess—both groups are dangerous on the road. Too many people make the decision to drive when they should not.
