What Causes Car Accidents? Country and Rural Roads : by Marc Quinn, Ottawa, Renfrew, Pembroke, Arnprior Car Accident Lawyer

In most cases, motor vehicle collisions can be avoided. Car accidents are the result of driver behaviour and accidents are unexpected and unforeseen. In some cases, in addition to driver error, there are other contributing factors to motor vehicle accidents such as poor roadway design or inadequate road maintenance. In some cases, municipalities can be held liable at law for accidents. The degree of driver behavior which contributed towards the accident is usually high and include driving under the influence of alcohol or other substances, driving with distractions (cell phones, radio etc..), speeding, aggressive driving or simple inattention. The primary cause of accidents, it seems, is driver behaviour.

Whatever the cause of a car accident, there is usually insurance involved and the rights and interests of those involved in car accidents will vary depending on the circumstances. The type and amount of compensation available for victims of car accidents varies with the circumstances of the accident.

At Quinn Thiele Mineault Grodzki, Renfrew, Pembroke, Arnprior, Ottawa car accident lawyers, aside from slip and falls and trip and fall cases, the majority of personal injury claims we handle are as a result of motor accidents. One area in particular that causes many motor accidents is country and rural roads. Country roads are particularly dangerous and extra care should always be taken when driving on country roads. Country roads are often single lane roads and are not as well lit as city roads. Also, country roads are particularly susceptible to becoming dangerous in bad weather conditions.

Advancing claims for compensation in cases of accidents on rural or country roads can be difficult and it is advisable to contact a personal injury lawyer to handle the claims on your behalf.
