What are the Most Common Types of Car Accidents in Derby?

Driver Error or Driver Negligence
The most common cause of car accidents in Derby is driver error, including: failure to yield, following too closely, driving at excessive speeds, drunk driving, and disregard of traffic signs. An experienced Derby car accident lawyer will order your accident report and can help investigate if driver error or negligence is a factor in your case.
Distractions to Vehicle Driver
In the information age, driver distractions have grown as a cause of car accidents. Common distractions include: cell phone usage, driver attempts to read, puts on makeup, changes the radio station, and numerous other distractions inside and outside of the vehicle.
Failure to Properly Service and Maintain a Car, Truck or Bus
Another significant area of car accident cases in Derby, often appearing in the commercial vehicle setting, involves failure to properly service and maintain vehicles. This failure is becoming more common everyday. Typically, improper maintenance is due to the failure of the owner or a service company to properly maintain and service a car,truck or bus.The result of this failure can be catastrophic. For example, the failing to properly lubricate bearings on a commercial vehicle (routine maintenance) can result in the entire wheel assembly disengaging from the vehicle while driving down a road.
Road Defect or Negligent Design of the Roadway
A special group of car accidents, roadway defects, considers the design of the roadway itself. A poorly designed roadway, construction setup or debris, means of controlling traffic can cause or contribute to a serious car accident. A Derby car accident lawyer can help investigate if a roadway defect may be present in your case. Construction on Kansas roadways must follow certain requirements. An experienced Derby car accident lawyer will know the laws of the road.
Product Liability or Car Manufacturing Defect
Car accident cases may also sometimes involve a unique class of litigation known as product liability. In car accident claims, these cases typically arise where a defect in a motor vehicle causes an accident and result in injuries. A design or defect may not be the actual cause of the accident, but it may worsen the injuries sustained by the vehicle occupants. (Example: SUV’s may be more likely to rollover in a car accident.) Other common cases of product liability include:
Failure of an airbag to deploy;
Seatbelt failure; or
Gas tank explosion.
