Auto Accidents

Nope . . . not even close. In high income societies like the US, the top killers are heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, and Alzheimer's. Road deaths are not in the top 10 causes of deaths.

Head on collisions

To estimate the force released in a crash, we can use the principle of kinetic energy. A 3,000-pound car traveling at 70 mph has a kinetic energy of approximately 1,500,000 foot-pounds. However, force during a crash depends on the duration of the impact. While it's complex to convert kinetic energy directly to force without knowing the specifics of the collision, roughly estimating, the force could be in the range of several million pounds depending on the crash dynamics and deceleration time.

The most common location for fatal backing collisions is residential driveways. These incidents often occur when a vehicle is reversing out of a driveway or parking space and collides with pedestrians, particularly young children or older adults who may be in the vehicle's blind spots. Additionally, the confined space and limited visibility in driveways contribute to the higher risk of such accidents.

Absolutely not, highly recommended to take picture of all vehicles involved, drivers licenses, insurance cards, etc. The more evidence you have the better! Especially if you need to hire an attorney, which is always recommended for a free consultation at the very least.

If it was indeed your fault, then you are better off they drove away in most cases. Contact your insurance, tell them what happened (if you want your car fixed) and file a claim. Your insurance premium may go up, so it all depends on the amount of damage to your vehicle as the whether you get it fixed. It is also recommended to file a police report just in case the owner of the car you hit comes back later to accuse you of the accident.

Sorry but you are at fault.

Sorry but you are at fault in this situation even if a vehicle stops in front of you because in the eyes of the law you must leave enough room between you and the next vehicle to stop at all times. If not you are apt to be cited for following too close in a rear end collision.

Every state has their own laws covering insurance and liability for damages.

Some insurance companies will let you start a claim online but only because they aren't staffed 24 hrs, they will still call you and will want a police report number and your version of what happened. Sometimes even the police don't come out for traffic depending on state and damages but still have to get no for insurance, you will be assigned a rep to work with you to get car taken care of. There may be a deductible; if your car can be driven they will want at least 3 estimates most likely and since the police are slow more may come after about a week. They will determine fault if that applies to your state. There could also be injury claim from the other party etc. which is only a problem if you are at fault in applicable state etc, your driving record/rates could be affected

It depend on who you ask and what is meant by cost.

That is a very vague question that depends on a lot more info. However, most attorneys offer a free initial consultation to see if there may be a case, and if there is you don't pay their fee unless they win the case for you. A won settlement can range from a few thousand to millions.

The fact that the car is parked illegally or not has no bearing on who is at fault. The car that slid down the slope is at fault.

Disclaimer: I am not an attorney. But that seems to be a thing at the discretion of the Judge, all conditions must be considered, and 'illegally parked' could mean anything from an expired meter to blocking the road. And in Calif, if you are uninsured, regardless, you are at fault because you should not have been on the road. If you rear-end a car at a red light, and that car, just sitting there waiting at the light, is at fault if uninsured. That's why you should carry both uninsured and under- insured on your policy, even when convicted and ordered to pay, they usually don't.

During my years of experience as a car accident attorney, here are my top five picks (in no particular order) for the most common causes of car accidents:

1. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs;

2. Speeding;

3. Driver inattention or being distracted (texting; doing makeup; reading something; having an

animal or unruly child in car; etc....);

4. Driving to closely or tailgating; and,

5. Unsafe lane changes.

If people stopped doing these five things, I would be out of business in a few months.

I believe that the statistic you're looking for is "Half of all car crashed happen at less than 40 miles per hour." That's probably true, because more accidents happen in the city than on the open highway, and in the city, you're more likely to be driving slowly. The more SERIOUS accidents happen at higher speeds, and often involve alcohol, but these can happen in town or on the highway.

That isn't a question

If the person backing out of the space had not seen a pedestrian walking the "wrong way" it would be the fault of the driver of the car backing out....... So it is the fault of the person backing out. They did not look to make sure it was safe to do so.

The main causes of death and injury on Irish roads remain speeding, drink driving and non-wearing of seat-belts.
