Common Causes of Two-Vehicle Crashes in Gainesville
Two-vehicle accidents can occur in busy areas like Hull Road and SW 34th Street, where traffic volume and turning lanes increase the risk of collisions. Some frequent contributing factors include:
- Distracted Driving: Using a cellphone, texting, adjusting GPS devices, or interacting with passengers can divert attention from the road. Even brief distractions can lead to rear-end collisions or vehicles leaving the roadway.
- Failure to Yield: Crashes often happen when drivers do not yield at intersections, driveways, or turns. Misjudging right-of-way can result in collisions involving both vehicles and nearby pedestrians.
- Speeding: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of accidents. In two-vehicle collisions, high-speed impacts can lead to more severe injuries like broken bones.
- Environmental Factors: Rain, wet pavement, glare, or low visibility can make it difficult for drivers to see hazards or stop in time, increasing the risk of accidents.
- Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug use can impair judgment, slow reflexes, and reduce awareness, leading to dangerous situations in two-vehicle crashes.
Victims of two-vehicle crashes may face medical expenses, lost wages, and extended recovery periods. In Florida, injured drivers and passengers may be entitled to compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost income, and pain and suffering. A Gainesville car accident lawyer can help investigate the crash, negotiate with insurance companies, and pursue the compensation available.
