Major Causes of Indiana Traffic Accidents

Posted on August 07, 2011 by Ronald Todd

Car Accident Indiana Causes

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines accident as "an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance." However, most motor vehicle accidents are not "an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance." Car accidents should not be labeled as accident, but rather as collisions. These collisions could and should have been avoided if proper precautions had been taken to prevent them.

Major Causes of Automobile Collisions

Most car collisions are a result of four separate categories, which include:

  • Driver error
  • Poor road condition or maintenance
  • Faulty road design
  • Vehicle failure

Almost all motor vehicle collisions involve some type of driver error. Responsible drivers who carelessly cause collisions often try to blame their errors on poor road conditions, faulty road design or vehicle failure or other drivers for their negligence.

Usually after a thorough investigation, these claims made by the negligent drivers are found to be baseless. The truth of the matter is that the primary cause is the driver's excessive speed, aggressive driving and distracted driving.
