Common Causes of Louisville Auto Accidents

March 31, 2016

The possibility of severe weather in the Louisville forecast today is a reminder of the dangerous driving conditions that can arise in the region from time to time. Adverse weather conditions certainly make driving more hazardous. You can mitigate the risks by making sure your windshield wipers are working, your headlights are bright, and that you slow down and adjust your driving to account for poor conditions. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do about the behavior of other drivers. When someone else causes you to get in an auto accident, contributing factors often include:

• Driving while distracted by technology
• Aggressive or emotional driving
• Reckless driving
• Speeding
• Driving while intoxicated
• Careless driving

In such scenarios, you may suffer an injury in an accident that happened because of someone else’s actions. You deserve to be fully compensated for such an incident. Your medical bills, lost income from being unable to work, and prescription medication costs are just a few of the ways you can become financially burdened after an accident. On top of all these expenses, you may also be in a great deal of pain, and you may feel depressed and be emotionally affected in other ways. You deserve injury compensation for these things as well.
