The Various Causes of Accidents in Montgomery
One of the most common causes of an auto accident in Montgomery is negligence by a driver. Speeding, texting or using cell phones while driving, fatigue, breaching traffic rules or signs, and the use of alcohol or drugs are common examples of negligence.
Defective vehicle parts also contribute to a number of accidents in Montgomery County and surrounding areas. Product defects are a result of poor design or a flawed manufacturing process. Poor auto repair and servicing can also be a factor. In fact, tire and brake defects account for most defect-related auto accidents. In many cases, an expert is needed to determine liability.
Besides the above-mentioned reasons, other factors that contribute to accidents include bad weather conditions, unsafe road routes filled with potholes, construction work, and falling materials, such as tree branches. When possible, always drive defensively.
