Phoenix, Glendale, Tempe, and Greater Arizona Car Accident Attorneys - Multiple-Vehicle Accidents
An accident involving multiple vehicles can cause serious, life-altering injuries. Car accidents involving multiple vehicles can include two cars, a car and a truck, a car and a bus, or even an emergency vehicle. In cases involving multiple vehicles, it is often difficult to determine who is at fault. Matters can be further complicated when one of the drivers involved is uninsured. Phoenix, Glendale, and Tempe-area residents can consult with the car accident attorneys at Begam, Lewis & Marks for expert litigation of multiple-vehicle accidents.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
Multiple-vehicle car accidents are often the result of driver negligence. Negligent behavior includes:
- Disobeying traffic signs
- Failing to signal when making a turn
- Driving too fast or too slow
- Following too closely
- Failing to adjust to weather and traffic conditions
- Rubbernecking (straining to watch something of interest rather than paying attention to the road)
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
In addition, drivers who are young or inexperienced, or distracted by something, such as a cell-phone, are especially prone to accidents.
Reckless Driving
A separate category of negligent driving is reckless driving, also known as aggressive driving. A driver who exhibits clear disregard for safety and traffic rules is considered a reckless driver. Reckless drivers may drive faster than the speed limit or faster than conditions allow, make excessive lane changes, fail to signal when changing lanes, move into a lane already occupied by another vehicle, or use the shoulder or an emergency lane to pass, among other dangerous actions. Our Phoenix, Glendale, and Tempe car accident attorneys can make sure reckless or aggressive drivers are held liable for accidents due to their intentional and unsafe conduct.
Drunk Driving
A substantial number of car crashes are alcohol related. Drowsiness, lack of focus, inability to judge distances, and slow reaction times are some of the effects intoxication can have on driving. In addition to the drunk driver, a bar or social entertainer who served an obviously intoxicated guest may be held liable for damages. The car accident attorneys at Begam, Lewis & Marks will attempt to recover damages from all parties responsible in a drunk-driving accident.
Accident Reconstruction and Investigation
When a crash occurs, the police, insurance companies, and legal professionals are often involved in examining the causes of the accident. Proper investigation is crucial for determining who is at fault and ensuring that victims are appropriately compensated. By examining the physical evidence of a Phoenix, Glendale, or Tempe car accident scene, the attorneys at Begam, Lewis & Marks can gather solid proof of liability. Skid marks, debris on the road, damage to the vehicles, and anything that can reduce visibility or obstruct a driver’s view are some examples of evidence that can help determine liability. Our attorneys will take pictures, talk to witnesses, and if necessary, procure an accident investigation specialist in order to gather evidence for your case.
