Common Causes of Car Accidents In Manchester

Drivers owe a legal duty of care to others on the road. This duty requires them to follow traffic laws and take reasonable measures to avoid causing an accident. When a driver breaches this duty of care and causes an accident with injuries and damages, the at-fault driver is liable. The most common breaches of the duty of care that result in car accidents include the following:

• Speeding
• Distracted driving
• Aggressive driving
• Tailgating
• Failure to yield the right of way
• Unsafe lane changes
• Improper merging
• Impaired driving
• Improper passing

In some cases, other parties cause or contribute to car accidents, including negligent road maintenance agencies or manufacturers of defective tires or other automotive parts, leaving them liable or partly liable for damages.

Under Missouri 537.765, the law describes contributory fault, including allowing a car accident victim to recover compensation even if they contributed to the cause or severity of the accident, but the insurance company subtracts the injury victim’s percentage of fault from their claim.

What Damages Can I Recover Through a Manchester Car Accident Claim?

When a car accident causes injury, the damages are far more extensive than the property damage costs for repairing or replacing a vehicle. Common damages recovered through successful claims include the following:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Out-of-pocket expenses
• Past and future income loss/diminished earning capacity
• Compensation for pain and suffering

Depending on the circumstances of individual cases, catastrophic injury damages may be available for permanent harm, such as loss of limb, permanent scarring, vision damage, hearing loss, organ loss, or diminished quality of life. If a loved one died in a Manchester car accident, a wrongful death lawyer from Miller & Hine can help.
