How Negligent Drivers Cause Car Crashes in Myrtle Beach

We see all kinds of crazy driving in Myrtle Beach and along the Grand Strand. It’s a wonder there aren’t more accidents than there are! From tourists who don’t know where they’re going to drunk drivers who shouldn’t be behind the wheel at all, dangerous drivers are everywhere.

Failure to Obey Traffic Laws

Many crashes are caused by drivers simply not following the rules of the road. Speeding comes under this category, but another common cause of accidents is failure to yield, which is the official charge when someone cuts you off when changing lanes or entering a roadway. Running red lights or stop signs and ignoring other traffic rules and signals are also causes of crashes that can be grounds for a personal injury claim if the negligence causes a crash that injures someone. Police reports are important pieces of evidence in these claims.

Distracted Driving

Texting, talking on the phone, eating, talking to passengers, and even daydreaming are all forms of distracted driving that can cause a crash. Driver inattention plays a part in almost every collision, whether the driver was also drunk, lost, or exceeding the speed limit. Attorney Brooke Eaves Wright will investigate the driver’s actions to determine if distraction was a cause of the crash that left you injured.

Other Common Car Accident Causes

Impaired Driving

Drunk Driving and DUI in Myrtle Beach South Carolina

Myrtle Beach is a vacation and party destination, so it’s no wonder that drivers impaired by alcohol and recreational drugs are out on the roads day and night. When police respond to a crash scene, they should assess the sobriety of all drivers involved. If the driver who caused the crash is cited for DUI, your injury claim is stronger. We proudly help those injured by drunk drivers.

Speeding

Speeding is a leading cause of car accidents because a driver who exceeds a safe speed cannot spot potential obstacles and stop before hitting them. Speed limits are set with the location and purpose of the road in mind. A commercial road that has a lot of traffic turning on and off or a residential street that might have children, bicycles, and pedestrians around have low-speed limits to force a driver to be aware of the potential hazards. An analysis of the crash scene can often determine the approximate speed of the driver who caused the crash, and that evidence can be used in a personal injury case.

Drowsy Driving

Fatigue has a similar effect on a driver as alcohol. Senses are dulled, reaction times are slowed, and attention to the road is compromised. People mistakenly believe that drowsy driving only occurs at night, but it can be a factor in morning rush-hour crashes as well as afternoon commutes. Brooke knows how to dig into crash evidence to determine if fatigue might have played a part. If it did, she will prove it to strengthen your case.

Lack of Experience or Skill

Not having a lot of behind-the-wheel experience—such as a teen with a learner’s permit or a new driver—or not being able to see obstacles or react quickly to hazards—as with many elderly drivers—are not excuses for resulting accidents. Although you might feel bad holding a teen or elderly person accountable, if they caused your crash, their insurance company should pay.
