There were three passengers, a 10-year-old girl, a 28-year-old woman and a 58-year-old woman, in the victim’s vehicle at the time of the crash.

All the occupants in the victim’s vehicle were taken to the hospital for treatment.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents

While there are many causes of car accidents, the most common reasons for driver negligence include driver inattention; cell phone use; texting and driving; speeding; fatigue; failure to yield the right of way from a stop sign or private drive; running a red light; and driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” Attorney Joel A. Gordon said. Mr. Gordon believes that an independent investigation is important. An Attorney will help obtain the crash report, secure accident photos, interview witnesses, and create a claim.
