Your attorney’s job is to level the playing field. Their main goal is to settle your claim to maximize your compensation.

Soft tissue injuries

Mild whiplash

Neck and spine injuries

Traumatic brain injuries

Common Causes Of Car Crashes

Your Northern Virginia car accident lawyer can help you secure some much-needed financial compensation after your crash. At Cohen & Cohen, we’ve been helping car crash survivors for 25 years, and we’re ready to use our experience to help you. Read on to see the common causes of car accidents – and contact us today to get started.

Distractions Behind The Wheel

Distracted driving remains one of the top reasons for car accidents across the country. This involves any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, or fiddling with the stereo, entertainment, or navigation system. Anything that takes a driver’s attention off the road can lead to a crash.

Speeding

Driving above the speed limit is another leading cause of accidents that result in injuries and fatalities. Speeding reduces a driver’s ability to steer safely around curves or objects in the roadway, extends the distance necessary to stop a vehicle, and increases the distance a vehicle travels while the driver reacts to a dangerous situation.

Driving Under The Influence

Alcohol and drugs impair cognitive functions, coordination, and reaction times. Driving under the influence of any intoxicant is illegal and significantly increases the likelihood of accidents that result in injury or death.

Reckless Driving

Reckless driving includes changing lanes too quickly, aggressive driving behaviors such as tailgating and ignoring traffic signals, and failing to observe the rights of other road users. This disregard for road safety can lead to dangerous situations that might result in severe accidents.

Poor Weather Conditions

Bad weather conditions such as rain, snow, fog, and ice drastically affect driving safety. Slippery roads reduce tire traction and can cause drivers to lose control, while fog and heavy rain can severely impair visibility. Understanding how to navigate these conditions safely is vital, though the safest measure is often to avoid driving until conditions improve.

Driver Fatigue

Fatigue can reduce awareness and reaction time, impair judgment, and increase the risk of accidents. Driver fatigue is particularly a concern in professions requiring long driving hours, such as truck and bus driving. However, it can affect any driver who does not get sufficient rest.

Vehicle Defects

Sometimes accidents are caused not by the driver’s actions but by vehicle malfunctions. This can include brake failures, tire blowouts, steering and suspension failures, and other critical vehicle malfunctions. A Fairfax, VA car accident lawyer can help you investigate and determine whether a manufacturer can be held responsible for your injuries.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ms. Skibicki handled my uninsured motorist claim exceptionally well. She understood the importance of balancing justice and compensation from those involved in the dispute. She fought for a fair settlement and genuinely listened to my concerns and complaints about the process, showing empathy throughout.

She thoughtfully explained the pros and cons of pursuing further litigation if I was not satisfied with the offer, and she gave me ample time to make a decision that felt right for my situation. I never felt pressured to accept an offer that didn’t meet my needs. If I need legal assistance again, I would choose Cohen and Cohen and specifically request Ms. Skibicki as my attorney.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I retained Cohen & Cohen after I was struck by a car and fractured my spine. Adam was kind, knowledgeable and truly an advocate throughout the entire settlement process. He was incredibly responsive to my calls, emails and texts, and always took the time to explain how parts of the admittedly complex process worked with insurance, etc. Adam was able to secure a settlement of the offender's maximum policy limit, and the process was completed within a year. 10/10 recommend!
