Common Causes of Two-Vehicle Accidents in Gainesville
Two-vehicle crashes, like the one on NW 43rd Street, often occur in busy areas and can lead to significant injuries even without major property damage. Some frequent contributing factors include:
- Distracted driving: Cell phone use, adjusting the radio, eating, or other distractions can cause drivers to miss stop signals, brake lights, or the presence of vehicles ahead. Rear-end collisions are particularly common when a driver fails to notice slowing traffic in time.
- Failure to yield: Collisions often happen at intersections or when one vehicle does not give the right-of-way. Ignoring stop signs, running red lights, or turning without checking oncoming traffic can easily trigger two-car accidents.
- Speeding: Driving above the posted limit or too fast for road conditions reduces reaction time and increases impact force. Even a relatively minor rear-end collision at higher speeds can cause serious injuries, especially to the head, neck, or spine.
- Impaired driving: Alcohol, drugs, or medications that impair judgment and reaction time remain a serious cause of two-vehicle crashes. Impairment increases the likelihood of rear-end or side-impact collisions.
- Weather and road conditions: Rain, wet pavement, or debris can reduce traction and make stopping more difficult. Drivers who do not adjust their speed or following distance in these conditions are at higher risk of causing collisions.
Victims of two-vehicle accidents may face medical bills, lost wages, and emotional stress. In Florida, injured drivers and passengers can often pursue compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost income, and pain and suffering. Consulting a Gainesville car accident lawyer can help ensure victims receive fair compensation.
