Single Vehicle Accidents in GA
Alpharetta Accident Attorney
Accidents can still occur when there are no other vehicles involved. There
are other obstacles in the road that can cause a crash, or the road itself
may cause an accident. Crashes may not even involve a collision, as rollover
accidents can be just as injurious or even fatal as a car-on-car collision.
In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety states that 7,420
people died in rollover accidents in 2011, and this was about 35% of all
fatal crashes, even though rollovers account for only 2% of crashes that occur.
Causes of Single Vehicle Crashes
Even though driver error contributes to some of these accidents, many single
vehicle crashes are still the fault of others. For example, the manufacturer
may be at fault, or a vehicle may be poorly designed. Some problems that
result from a vehicle being poorly made include defective brakes, steering,
airbags, and seatbelts, plus such problems that lead to tire blowouts
and transmission failure.
Flawed roads may be another reason why others are at fault. Construction
or design of roads may have been deficient. The road may have been made
with especially hard turns, or the road may lack adequate guard rails,
shoulder lanes, and even important signs. Faulty construction work can
produce dangerous roads, and on-ramps may not allow enough distance for
safe merging. Neglect may lead to unfixed potholes, defective guardrails,
or even worn down lane markers.
Were you injured in a single vehicle crash in Georgia?
You may be suffering from broken bones, serious spinal cord injuries, or
even a concussion and other traumatic brain injuries. All these
catastrophic injuries can cause serious pain and suffering, and a potentially long road to recovery.
Even though there are no other drivers to point to, others may be at fault
for your injuries, or the
wrongful death of a loved one. If so, then you may be entitled to compensation to help
you move on in life.
Insurance should cover you, at the very least, for medical treatment that
you have already paid for and expect to pay in the future. It may also
be possible to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer. An experienced
car accident attorney from our firm can determine the full amount that you are owed in a lawsuit,
or in a settlement (which will almost certainly be more than insurance
will say). Even if you have been faithfully paying your premiums, year
in and year out, insurance does not want to pay out. If they do not deny
your claim, they may offer you an incredibly low settlement.
