One of the primary causes of automobile accidents is distracted driving. Drivers often fail to pay attention due to texting or talking on the phone and disregard traffic control devices, such as stop signs and traffic control devices. Other common causes of Boynton beach car accidents involve inexperienced drivers, impairment or intoxication, disregarding the right of way, driving erratically, and excessive speeding.

Common Accident Situations in Boynton Beach

There are many different causes of accidents in Boynton Beach. Some of the most common are rear-end accidents, in which a driver fails to use due care and pay attention to traffic. As a result, they strike a vehicle in front of them that is going slower or at a complete stop. Often times, people are not paying attention due to texting or talking on the phone.

Another common accident scenario is lane changes. Drivers sometimes do not see their blind spots or other areas on the road when they attempt to change lanes. As a result, they hit other cars.

Another extremely problematic situation in Boynton Beach is failure to yield the right of way at an intersection. This can occur when people run red lights, make right turns on red without coming to a complete stop, or ignore stop signs. Lately, Palm Beach County has been building more and more rotaries or roundabouts, and many drivers are unfamiliar with these traffic patterns. A person in the roundabout or rotary has the right of way, and people sometimes drive right into the circle and crash.

Accident Claims Process

In order to bring a successful car accident claim, a person has to establish liability. Victims and their personal injury attorneys need to demonstrate that someone else was at fault for causing the accident. A dedicated personal injury attorney could make sure the victim has appropriate medical treatment given their symptoms and injuries, monitor new developments, and prepare the case. It is important to make sure that if a client is not 100% better and has residual problems from the accident, the case can still move forward.

Importance of Medical Treatment

The insurance companies want to pay as little as possible, and they really do not care about the individual as a person. For this reason, one cannot rely on insurance company representatives to care for victims’ health. It is important to seek medical attention if there is a chance that something could be wrong. For a personal injury attorney, a person’s health is of primary importance, and they will make sure victims receive the necessary medical treatment.
