What Qualifies as Negligence in a Car Accident Case?

All drivers have a responsibility and a duty of care toward the passengers in their vehicles and other commuters on the road.

Negligent acts that can result in serious car accidents may include:

Some car accidents are caused not by a driver but by a dangerous roadway condition or defective auto parts, such as defective tires, brakes, or airbags. In such injury cases, the potentially liable parties may include the government entity in charge of maintaining the roadway or the manufacturer of the defective vehicle or faulty part.

A knowledgeable Kansas City car accident attorney can help you determine whether you have a personal injury claim, and who may be responsible.

Car Accident Fatalities

Over the last four years, the United States has seen a 12% increase in auto accident deaths, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Many of these collisions are caused by an increase in distracted driving and driving at excessive speeds. Statistics now show that texting while driving is actually as dangerous as drunk driving.

When it comes to traffic accidents, Missouri ranks on the higher end of U.S. fatality rates with 945 fatalities in 2016. If you’ve been injured or have lost a loved one, a skilled Kansas City car accident lawyer can help you establish your motor vehicle accident case to prove liability and get the compensation you deserve. Proving negligence will be a key component of maximizing compensation.

Car Accident Reconstruction Information

A serious automobile accident requires an immediate investigation to preserve the evidence before it is altered, lost, or destroyed. In these injury cases, the Kansas City car accident lawyers at our law firm often find it extremely important to hire an accident reconstructionist, crash impact experts, or human factors experts to quickly investigate the case. At Cullan & Cullan, we are fortunate to have Dr. Gene Cullan. He is one of a small percentage of car accident lawyers in the United States who has obtained extensive advanced training in accident reconstruction.

Kansas City Car Accident Wrongful Death

The Kansas City personal injury attorneys at Cullan & Cullan understand that there are few things in life that are as traumatic as losing a loved one in a traffic accident. During such a time of grief, families are not thinking about monetary compensation, although they are often faced with immediate financial burdens, such as medical and funeral expenses.

In the long term, families may have to cope with paying bills and not having the support of an earning member of the family, or the deceased person may have been the family’s sole breadwinner. When a fatal car accident is caused as a result of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, contact our firm to learn more about your legal rights and options.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim After a car Accident?

A death caused by negligence or wrongdoing does not automatically give rise to a civil action. Even if the at-fault driver faces criminal prosecution and is found guilty, convicted, and sentenced, a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed by the victim’s legal heirs, such as a spouse or children.

In some states, other family members are considered legal heirs if there is no surviving spouse or children. In some personal injury cases, it is possible for parents, other beneficiaries, or dependents to file a wrongful death claim.

Compensation For Car Accidents

While it is easier to calculate certain types of economic damages, such as medical expenses and funeral costs, it may be challenging to determine other damages, including lost future income, loss of household services, loss of companionship, loss of love and mentorship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

It is important for families who have lost a loved one in a car accident to get the counseling and support they need to get through this time of grief. It is also important that families have access to the resources and guidance they need to preserve their rights and obtain the compensation they will need to secure their financial future and survive without their loved ones.
