What are the most common causes of West Palm Beach car accidents?

A:

Numerous studies have found that the majority of car accidents are caused by driver behavior. In fact, less than five percent of Florida car crashes can be attributed to weather or mechanical problems. The ten driver behaviors most likely to cause a West Palm Beach car accident are:

• Distracted Driving 
• Drunk Driving
• Drugged Driving
• Aggressive or Reckless Driving 
• Speeding
• Running Stop Signs or Red Lights
• Tailgating
• Unsafe Lane Changes
• Driver Fatigue
• Street Racing

The top causes of Florida car accidents have one thing in common: they are avoidable. The truth is, most Florida highway accidents are caused by drivers who behave recklessly without regard to the safety of others.

If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a Palm Beach County car accident caused by a driver who was distracted, under the influence, aggressive, speeding, drowsy, or otherwise behaving recklessly, you have the right to seek compensation and accountability through a Florida injury claim.
