Get help finding the Right Single Car Accident Lawyer for your case
A single car accident, or single vehicle accident, is an auto accident involving only one vehicle. This includes instances when a vehicle travels off the road and collides with a fixed object, building or other piece of property. A single car accident can also include a vehicle colliding with a guardrail, street sign, or tree. Similarly, this type of accident can also describe a situation in which a vehicle rolls over or collides with debris in the roadway.
Single car accidents typically occur when a driver is intoxicated, distracted, or falls asleep at the wheel. Poor weather conditions, such as high winds, wet and slippery roads, heavy rain or hail can also cause a single car accident. Another common factor contributing to these accidents might be speeding, particularly in areas with sharp curves or narrow roadways. Poor breaks on a vehicle can enhance this danger.
As with any auto accident, a single car accident can cause extreme damage, personal injury and emotional trauma. Rollovers and/or colliding with a fixed object cause result in fires, explosions, a totaled vehicle, and serious bodily injuries or fatalities. Because only one vehicle is involved, the driver and his or her passengers are the ones left to deal with the expenses, losses and consequences of the accident. However, although there is only one vehicle involved in a single car accident, the driver of that vehicle may not necessarily be at fault. If you are in a passenger in a single car accident you have recourse from the driver and their insurance coverage.
Although it might be assumed that the driver of the vehicle involved in a single car accident is at fault, this may not always be the case. The accident could have been caused by dangerous road conditions or defects in the vehicle itself. This can then be attributed to negligence on the part of the manufactures, designers, or companies linked to the vehicle or roadway. An experienced injury lawyer can investigate your case and will work hard to assure liability does not fall to you if the accident was not your fault. In addition, drivers involved in single car accidents might be unsure of proper insurance protocol and may worry that their rates will rise. A single car accident attorney can help you understand your rights and help you through the insurance process.
