    Common Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents in Dallas

    Being in a catastrophic motor vehicle accident is a terrifying event for survivors and their loved ones.

    A number of factors cause car accidents.

    Driving While Impaired

    Operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs dramatically raises the likelihood of an accident. Even prescription or over-the-counter medications can have side effects that hinder a driver's ability to control their vehicle safely.

    According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), one person is killed every 39 minutes from a drunk driving accident, with approximately 13,525 alcohol-related fatalities occurring in the United States in one recent year.

    The NHTSA further reports that 56 percent of drivers who were involved in a serious injury and fatal crash in one recent year tested positive for at least one drug.

    Distracted Driving

    A distracted driver endangers the safety of everyone on the road. Common distractions include using a cell phone, talking with passengers, looking for items in the vehicle, adjusting the radio, or eating.

    The NHTSA estimates that 3,310 people were killed as a result of a distracted driver in one recent year in the United States.

    Driving While Fatigued

    A tired driver has slower reaction times and diminished awareness, increasing the likelihood of accidents.

    According to the NHTSA, close to 700 deaths were caused by a drowsy driver in one recent year.

    Aggressive Driving Maneuvers

    Aggressive driving behaviors often lead to collisions. Examples include road rage, sudden lane changes without signaling, tailgating, speeding, and driving too fast for prevailing conditions.

    The NHTSA reports that an estimated 12,150 people were killed from speeding-related incidents in the United States in one recent year.

    Disobeying Traffic Laws, Signage, and Signals

    Drivers who ignore traffic signals and signs heighten the risk of accidents. Common instances include not stopping at a stop sign, disregarding traffic lights, or failing to yield the right-of-way at pedestrian crossings.

    Inexperienced Driver

    New drivers tend to have slower reaction times and less instinct when driving, which can make it challenging for them to handle road obstacles safely.

    Roadway Complications

    Problems such as poor roadway maintenance, unclear lane markings, potholes, and active construction zones often impede a driver's ability to control their vehicles safely and effectively.

    Sudden Changes in Traffic Patterns

    Sudden changes in traffic patterns require prompt reactions from drivers to prevent accidents.

    Poorly Maintained Vehicles

    Vehicle owners need to perform regular maintenance to maintain vehicle safety. Typical maintenance problems include malfunctioning brakes, worn-out tires, and insufficient fluid levels.

    Low Visibility

    Poor visibility on the road poses a danger for all drivers. Common situations include navigating through bad weather, fog, or driving at night.

Vehicular crashes happened once every 56 seconds, and a person was injured in a reportable crash once every two minutes and six seconds in the state.
