Fatal Auto Accidents in North Carolina
Dealing with the aftermath of a fatal accident can be incredibly devastating. Unfortunately, countless people lose their lives as a result of fatal collisions across North Carolina every year. Far too often, these accidents are caused by drivers who are reckless and negligent. Some of the most common causes of fatal collisions across our state include:
- Speeding: When drivers travel too fast for road conditions, they run the risk of losing control of their vehicles and crashing into others.
- Impairment: Drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol are likely to lose control of their vehicles and crash into others.
- Failing to yield: When drivers fail to yield to others, either while switching lanes or while turning at intersections, they can crash into other vehicles and cause severe harm.
These and other reckless actions continue to have devastating consequences on drivers sharing the road. Regrettably, the impact of a fatal accident can be far-reaching. Families often struggle to move forward both emotionally and financially.
