Being involved in a motor vehicle accident can be incredibly devastating.

Many of these accidents are a direct result of negligent and reckless drivers. Some of the most common factors in vehicle collisions include:

• Impaired Driving: Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs can have a significant impact on the driver’s cognitive functions and reaction time. This increases the chance of a motor vehicle accident occurring.
• Driver Inexperience: New or inexperienced drivers may not have the skills and experience that may need to navigate the roadway safely and effectively. This increases the risk of motor vehicle accidents occurring.
