Auto manufacturers have introduced a multitude of technologies to make the driving experience more comfortable, enjoyable and safe. Crash avoidance systems, GPS, backup cameras and other innovations are preventing injuries and saving lives. One of the most influential of these modern technologies is the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
Your vehicle’s seatbelts are its most important safety features. They can prevent injuries in minor crashes and save lives in serious collisions.
Unfortunately, high-speed accidents are still likely to cause injuries – even to those who buckle up. The neck is particularly vulnerable. Many victims face overwhelming debt due to medical bills, time off work and other losses.
Distracted driving is a growing problem in the United States. It killed 3,154 motorists in 2013, according to Distraction.gov.
Fatal car wrecks are devastating for families. Those who are fortunate enough to escape with injuries often face an uphill climb to recovery.
Although negligent drivers can cause accidents at any time of the year, there are certain hazards that come and go with the seasons. In the fall, changing weather conditions, leaves and fewer daylight hours contribute to serious crashes – especially when drivers become complacent behind the wheel. Victims in these collisions often turn to a truck accident attorney to pursue compensation from the liable parties.
Despite advances in vehicle safety technology, car accidents are still common in the United States. In fact, the latest U.S. Census reveals that there are more than 10 million crashes in the country each year. While most of these are minor incidents, up to 35,000 of them caused deaths within one year of the wreck.
