There are different reasons why an accident occurs, and it ranges from drunk driving to over speeding to bad roads, or manufacturer’s defect. One common factor is that accidents lead to death or injuries, depending on the type.
The standard types of auto crashes include rollover accidents caused by the interaction of the driver with the road, vehicle, and environment. Another is a single-vehicle accident brought on by run-off-road collisions, collisions with debris, or animals.
Side-impact, head-on, and rear-end collisions are other forms of traffic accidents. The latter occurs when a vehicle slams into another from behind and a driver’s inattention leads to it, as well as tailgating, reduced traction due to road conditions, or panic stops.
