Examples of Orlando Car Accident ClaimsA car accident can occur for a variety of reasons. The following are some of the frequent causes of car accidents.
NegligenceMost Orlando car accidents are caused by negligent drivers. For example, drunk driving, distracted driving, aggressive driving, or fatigued driving are all common types of negligent driving that can lead to an Orlando car accident.
Manufacturer LiabilityManufacturers of vehicle and auto parts have a duty to create safe products. However, sometimes, a vehicle or part may be defective, which can cause it to fail. When this happens, the manufacturer may be liable through a product liability lawsuit. Some examples of defective automotive parts include tire defects, faulty braking systems, and poorly designed vehicles that are more likely to roll over or explode after a collision.
Road DesignIf a road has been designed or constructed improperly, it may lead to an accident. Common examples are improperly elevated embankments, poorly placed guardrails, or traffic controls that malfunction. Additionally, roads that are not maintained in a safe condition, such as those that develop potholes or have gravel atop the road surface, present a major hazard for motorists.
Common Injuries in Orlando Car AccidentsInjuries can take many different forms and may take weeks to make themselves evident. These are but a few examples of injuries you or your loved one may have sustained:
- Head and brain injuries,
- Muscle, back, neck, knee, joint, and bone injuries,
- Whiplash,
- Loss of limbs,
- Burns and scars,
- Spinal cord injuries,
