Car Accidents in Mississippi
Car accidents in Mississippi are the cause of thousands of injuries every year. Regrettably, there are countless instances where innocent people are hurt as a result of the negligent or careless actions of others. Common causes of accidents that we see here in Mississippi include:
- Fatigued driving: Operating a vehicle when you are too tired to do so can result in you losing control of your vehicle and crashing into others. Fatigued drivers often weave in and out of their lanes and may not be able to stop in time to avoid collisions while approaching congestion or busy intersections.
- Failure to obey traffic laws/signs/signal lights: Disregarding any type of traffic control device can have serious consequences for other people sharing the road. Unfortunately, countless people end up suffering serious injuries or losing their lives as a result of drivers who fail to obey traffic laws, signals, and signs while traveling on our state’s roadways.
- Inexperienced drivers: When drivers are not experienced, they are less likely to be able to make responsible decisions while behind the wheel.
- Vehicle malfunctions: It is critically important that all components of vehicles continue to function as they are intended to do so. Unfortunately, there are many accidents that are caused by brake failure, tire blowouts, steering problems, and other malfunctions and defects.
