Car Accidents 7 Main Causes
Despite new advances in vehicle technology such as rear view cameras, adaptive headlights and forward collision systems (FCS), car accidents still happen.
Any accident, minor or serious, can drastically change a person's life. They are loss of wages, pain and suffering, or permanent
may cause disability. Just because car accidents are common doesn't mean you don't have to be aware of the facts.
The causes of traffic accidents need to be divided into two categories. The first is the driver's negligence factor and the second is an external factor that has nothing to do with the driver.
Traffic accident caused by driver negligence
Most traffic accidents have nothing to do with driving know-how, but with decisions you make behind the wheel. In fact, about 94% of all traffic accidents are caused by human error.
Many drivers will one day discover that they are responsible for some of the most common causes of traffic accidents. However, more drivers would be more cautious behind the wheel if they knew what the consequences of these causes were.
More than 6 million car accidents occur each year in the United States. Fortunately, in many cases, only vehicle damage is involved without occupant harm. However, 2 million of those cases involve occupant injuries, and about 400,000 of them result in fatal injuries.
Every year in the United States, more than 38,000 people die in traffic accidents, and countless others are fatally injured and life-changing. Below are the 7 leading causes of traffic accidents.

The main cause of traffic accidents
A head injury is one of the most dangerous injuries an accident victim can suffer. Some head injuries, such as brain hemorrhage, can develop slowly over several days and can be fatal if not treated. Anyone who suffers a head injury in an automobile accident should seek medical attention immediately. Fractures of the skull are often reported after motor vehicle accidents. A skull fracture in which one of the skull bones is broken or cracked. In some cases, fragments of the skull penetrate the brain, causing further damage. A hematoma is bleeding that occurs under the skull. In some cases, hematomas can become large and fatal. A concussion, a type of traumatic brain injury, occurs when an accident victim receives a blow or shock to the head. Concussions can cause confusion, loss of consciousness, and even death when swelling or pressure builds up in the brain.
● Distracted Driving

● Driving too fast
Coming late to work, catching up in traffic, or unintentionally driving over the speed limit are the top causes of speed-related accidents.
● Signal Violation
About 40% of traffic accidents occur at intersections, and the cause is when there is a red light. A fatal accident can occur, but an accident occurs because you cannot stop for 1-2 minutes. In the United States alone, about 700 people die each year as a result of traffic violations.
