Although car accidents can happen anywhere, most happen close to home. A study from Progressive Insurance found that 52% of accidents occurred within 5 miles of a person’s home. Common places include spots like parking lots, rural roads, and busy intersections. Commuting during rush hour also heavily increases the odds of an accident.
If a vehicle is found to have a verifiable defect, then in some instances, the car manufacturer can be held liable in court. In cases involving defective tires, steering components, airbags, brakes, and even transmission failure, there have been examples of defects that could cause the manufacturer to be liable.
Committing a hit-and-run can bring significant charges in Texas, mainly when a person leaves the scene of an accident that involves a serious injury, death, or significant property damage. Regardless of whether there is property or bodily injury involved, it is the duty of all Texas drivers to stop to give information or stop to render aid when they are involved in an accident. Penalties for leaving the scene of an accident range from a misdemeanor to a felony, depending on the damage or injury the driver causes.
Degenerative disc disease is a chronic condition of the discs between vertebrae that lose their cushioning and can cause herniation. Victims of car accidents who suffer back injuries as a result of the collision often find themselves in long and painful recovery periods. The impact of a severe car accident can put a lot of pressure on your back and spine. If you have any previous back injuries or conditions, it can significantly worsen a pre-existing condition.
