Drivers have more distractions than ever before because of electronic devices. The more recent use of cell phones and texting while driving causes many accidents. The practice of safe driving is one way of preventing accidents from occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our firm is interested in helping to educate drivers on the importance of safe and defensive driving. If a person is a car accident victim, it is VITAL that he or she contact a reputable <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/practice-area\/mobile\/car-accident-lawyers\/\" data-type=\"pmp_practice_area\" data-id=\"20525\">Mobile car accident lawyer<\/a> for legal guidance &#8211; especially for guidance on what steps to take following a collision.

Studies have shown that some of the more common causes of auto crashes are :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>driving under the influence of drugs &amp; \/ or alcohol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>motorist distraction (cellphone use, changing radio dial, eating or talking to passengers)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>driver fatigue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>vehicle malfunction (tire blowout, mechanical failure, poor vehicle maintenance)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>poor visibility (snow, ice, rain, dust storm)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>overall condition of the road (potholes, malfunctioning traffic\/street lights, bad signage)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;. just to name a few. All of these causes can be major contributors to auto accidents due to the distractions taking away the focus on driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Injuries From Alabama Auto Collisions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personal injuries are the most serious consequences of a car wreck, and are something that we take VERY SERIOUSLY at Citrin Law.
