Coos Bay Auto Accident Injury Attorneys
As reported in ODOT’s most current research, there were nearly 50,000 vehicle crashes statewide just last year; this means that more than 4,000 automobile accidents occur in Oregon on a monthly basis! Significantly more than half of these crashes result with moderate to extreme injuries, and sadly 305 of those resulted in death. Nobody gets in their vehicle each morning planning to have an accident, however, the truth is this occurs even to the most discerning drivers, and it could happen to you or someone that you care about. According to current data for 2013, the most typical reason behind vehicle accidents is ‘driver error’:
- Failing to avoid non-moving and parked vehicles (rear-end)
- Failing to yield right-of-way
- Traveling at a high rate of speed
- Driving too fast for conditions
- Distracted operator: glancing at mobile phones, reading a map, eating
- Incorrect lane change
- Driver fatigue
- DUII – driving under the influence of intoxicants
