A car or motor vehicle accident claim is brought against a defendant whose negligence or purposeful actions resulted in an accident that produced personal injuries. In motor vehicle accident cases the claimant is the individual who suffered personal injuries and the defendant is the person(s) accused of being at fault. Even if the claim does not result in a lawsuit, claimants can secure the services of an Atlanta car accident attorney to assist with their negotiations. Common examples of car accident causes that can be ascribed to negligence or purposeful harm include:
Drunk driving
Distracted driving (e.g., texting, using a cell phone, etc.)
Aggressive driving
Carelessness or negligence while driving
Violating traffic laws
