What Constitutes Negligence in a Car Accident

What exactly constitutes negligence in a car accident? Typically, you can put forth that other drivers were negligent if they were not obeying usual traffic laws or was in some other way acting recklessly. When this can be proven, any injured victims can be eligible to receive compensation. Typical examples of negligence behind the wheel include:
  • Speeding
  • Impaired driving (drugs, alcohol, fatigue, etc.)
  • Not obeying traffic lights or signs
  • Not signaling a turn or a lane change
  • Distracted driving (texting, phone conversations, etc.)
  • Reckless driving
