Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in North Carolina
Vehicle collisions across North Carolina take the lives of more than 1000 people annually. There are countless instances where people die in collisions caused by reckless and negligent drivers. Some of the leading factors in fatal collisions across our state include:
- Wrong-way driving: Traveling in the wrong direction increases the likelihood of severe head-on collisions, especially when vehicles are moving at high speeds.
- Street racing: Racing poses a risk of serious collisions, as drivers may struggle to stop in time, increasing the chances of losing control of their vehicles.
- Vehicle defects: Defective parts can cause severe or fatal accidents, often resulting from tire blowouts, brake failures, or accelerator jams.
- Violating stop signs: When drivers ignore stop signs at intersections, collisions with other vehicles having the right of way are likely, leading to devastating accidents and rollovers.
After the unexpected loss of a loved one in a collision, taking legal action becomes imperative. While no financial compensation can fully compensate for the pain caused by wrongful death, seeking legal guidance from a skilled North Carolina wrongful death attorney can provide the necessary support and resources for healing and moving forward.
