What Are The Most Common Causes of Car Accidents?

According to the Center for Disease Control, road traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for people in the U.S. aged 1 to 54 years old. Unfortunately, what this means is that you probably know someone who has been a victim of a car accident, whether it be a friend, a loved one, a coworker, or even yourself.

So, what are the most common causes of car accidents? Well, today’s blog post has got you covered. Familiarizing yourself with common car accident causes is a great way to avoid them and prevent injury. Today, our legal team here at The Law Office of Zayed Al-Sayyed is breaking down the most common causes of car accidents.

1. القيادة دون انتباه

From texting to talking on the phone or even eating, distracted driving is the most common cause of road vehicle accidents in the U.S. While some of these behaviors might seem innocent enough, distracted drivers cause more accidents than both speeding and drunk driving. So, to avoid causing a distracted driving accident, make sure the road has your full attention while driving.

2. السرعة الزائدة

As you could probably imagine, speeding is another one of the most common causes of car accidents. Additionally, because speeding-related accidents occur at higher speeds (hence the name), these kinds of accidents are more likely to cause fatalities.

While speeding is something many drivers are guilty of from time to time, it can lead to incredibly dangerous scenarios, like losing control of your vehicle. The faster a vehicle travels, the harder it is to slow down or stop for obstacles, and consequentially, the risk of crashing increases.

3. Drunk Driving

Another common cause of car accidents is drunk driving, especially on the weekends and holidays. When people consume alcohol, their response time and ability to focus drastically reduce, therefore it is illegal to drive with anything above a 0.08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit.

Drunk driving accidents are easily preventable, as all motorists should avoid driving after drinking alcohol and/or enlist the help of a designated driver if needed.

4. Reckless Driving

Reckless driving covers a multitude of driving behaviors like changing lanes without looking, tailgating, excessive speeding, and ignoring road signs.

To avoid accidents caused by reckless drivers, you should maintain your focus and concentration while driving, use your signals, and keep adequate space between your vehicle and those around you.

التكتيكات التي تستخدمها شركات حوادث السيارات لتقليل قيمة مطالبات الحوادث

Car accidents can be stressful, frustrating, and downright scary. Unfortunately, they are often just the tip of the iceberg. If you or a loved one is injured or sustains property damage from a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to compensation for your losses. However, that is typically a long and tricky road.

After an accident, the last thing anyone wants to deal with is more stress. That’s why the legal team here at The Law Office of Zayed Al-Sayyed is devoted to helping you make the best decisions for your case. Not only will we clearly explain your rights to you throughout the legal process, but we can help you combat these tactics car accident companies use to devalue accident claims:

1. Calling Too Quickly After the Injury

It is common for car insurers to call you almost immediately after a car accident and they do so for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, insurers want to catch you off guard. Typically, people are in a more vulnerable state after an accident and insurance sharks hope to capitalize on that vulnerability.

Additionally, insurers tend to give you a call before you have had the opportunity to fully determine the scope of your injuries. This is no mistake. Insurers are hoping that you don’t yet know the full extent of your damages, meaning that you might settle for less than you deserve.

Of course, they also are hoping that you haven’t yet obtained a personal injury lawyer or a car accident attorney (who is going to make sure you get exactly what you deserve).

2. Asking For a Recorded Statement

Another tactic insurance companies use to devalue accident claims is asking for a recorded statement. While allowing insurance companies to record your statement seems reasonable and just, it is in no way a requirement and is something you should avoid.

We recommend that you always decline being recorded to make sure you are protected from accidentally saying something to devalue or jeopardize your claim. Don’t worry, your personal injury lawyer will do the talking for you.

3. Offering Quick Settlements

While quick settlements might seem enticing, they are usually much lower than the amount you are truly entitled to. Insurance companies like to offer them before you’ve had the chance to fully evaluate your injuries and losses, hoping you are in a vulnerable state and desperate for financial compensation.

However, once you agree to a quick settlement, it is nearly impossible to reopen your claim and ask for more money. Basically, you should assume that anything the insurance company offers you is not enough.

4. Asking You To Sign a Medical Authorization

Getting an injury victim to sign a blanket medical authorization is another sneaky tactic car accident companies use to devalue accident claims. This ruse is fairly common, as a blanket medical authorization is a powerful tool that gives insurance companies access to your private medical information.

With access to such information, insurance companies are able to blame your current pain on any pre-existing condition or past injury, which of course, devalues your car accident claim. Trust us on this one, it’s a trap.

Have you or a loved one suffered personal injury or loss due to a car accident? If so, we recommend that you don’t go through this process alone. After your car accident, the first step is to consult with a skilled Phoenix car accident attorney. Not only will they help you combat these tactics car accident companies use to devalue accident claims, but they will ensure that you get the compensation you deserve.

Arizona Seat Belt Laws

When you slide into the seat of a motor vehicle, your first move should always be to click your seat belt into place. For many of us, this is an immediate instinct. For others, their car’s beeping seatbelt signal reminds them to buckle up. We know to wear our seat belts, but why? And what exactly are the Arizona seat belt laws?

Arizona seat belt laws are intended to keep drivers and passengers safe and sound while traveling in the Grand Canyon State. According to the most recent data from the NHTSA, seat belts lower the risk of serious physical injury by up to 50 percent and cut the risk of death by up to 45 percent.

Today, our car accident attorneys are explaining everything you need to know about seat belt laws in Arizona so you can stay safe and avoid fines while on the road.

Seat Belt Laws in Arizona

The driver and all front-seat passengers must wear a properly fastened chest and waist strap while traveling in this secondary seat belt state. By law, back-seat passengers are not required to wear a seat belt. However, this back-seat exception does not pertain to children.

In Arizona, all passengers under the age of 16 years must buckle up regardless of where they are seated. If you’re driving with a child and they have not fastened their seat belt, you’re responsible and law enforcement can ticket you for seat belt offenses.

Anyone traveling in the front seat of a motor vehicle should always wear a seat belt and law enforcement can ticket you if they catch you in motion without one.

Child Car Seat Requirements in Arizona

For minors between the ages of 1 and 4 years old, Arizona car seat laws require that minors should sit in a front-facing seat. Children between 5 and 7 years old should use booster seats. Once the child reaches 8 years of age, they can sit in the vehicle without a booster seat or car seat, but they must wear a seat belt at all times.

Consequences of Violating Arizona Seat Belt Laws

In Arizona, the fines for violating seat belt laws will vary depending on the number of people not using them. The first offense usually attracts a minuscule fine of $10 for each passenger. If there are any kids under the age of 5 years old in the vehicle who are not secured in a car safety seat, you’ll be subject to a minimum fine of $50 dollars.

Because Arizona is a secondary seat belt state, you cannot be pulled over solely for not wearing a seat belt. You must have committed another traffic offense first. The fines associated with Arizona seat belt laws might seem relatively minor, but if you are involved in an accident, the medical costs and losses could be much higher.

Reasons for Wearing Seat Belts

The injury and choking hazards associated with the improper use of seat belts are significantly high. It’s important to use the correct restraint for your child’s age, weight, and height. Seat belts are designed to secure drivers and passengers against the dangerous movements that could occur during a sudden stop or car crash.

Adults and children alike should wear a seat belt at all times when riding in a motor vehicle. Wearing a car seat belt could be the difference between you or a loved one walking away from an accident relatively unscathed and facing severe injuries or even death. Protect yourself, your loved ones, and other drivers on the road by buckling up.

Expert Car Accident Attorneys in Phoenix, AZ

Unfortunately, many people experience pain and suffering in car accidents, even while complying with Arizona seat belt laws. If you or someone you care about has been injured in a car accident, it’s important to consult with a skilled car accident attorney as quickly as possible.

We utilize our Aggressive Compassionate Representation to ensure that you are treated with the utmost compassion while we aggressively pursue the best outcome for your case. Contact our Phoenix car accident attorneys today for more information or to schedule a free consultation.

ما هي الإصابات الأكثر شيوعًا الناتجة عن حوادث السيارات؟

All over the world, accidents happen every day. In 2020, there were 98,778 motor vehicle crashes in Arizona alone that resulted in 28,610 injuries. As car accident attorneys, we are often asked ‘what are the most common injuries from car accidents?’

Injuries sustained from car accidents can range from whiplash and bone fractures to traumatic brain injuries and even death. Today, our legal team is explaining some of the most common injuries from car accidents to be aware of.

1. Neck and Back Injuries

Neck and back injuries are easily the most common types of injuries from car accidents. This includes a wide range of issues like whiplash and spinal cord injuries.

While neck and back injuries can start out seeming minor, they can manifest into more serious problems later on. In some cases, they even turn into lifelong complications.

2. Broken Bones and Fractures

The physical impact of a car crash can be brutal on the body, which oftentimes leads to broken bones and fractures. Arms, wrists, legs, ribs, and ankles are some of the most commonly broken and fractured bones that result from car accidents.

These types of injuries can vary in severity, but are generally fixable within a few months. However, they can still cause a tremendous amount of pain and hefty medical bills.

3. Internal Injuries

When a car crash takes place, the force of the impact can push your body into an object or cause you to be hit by flying debris. This often causes damage to internal organs, which can lead to internal bleeding and requires immediate medical attention.

4. Brain Injuries

If you suffer a blow to the head in a car accident, you may suffer a traumatic brain injury. This happens when great physical impact to the head damages or destroys delicate brain tissue.

Traumatic brain injuries can lead to permanent difficulties with cognitive skills, movement, and the ability to work. As with any other injury, brain injuries can range from mild to severe. While some only cause short-term issues, others can lead to a lifetime of pain, frustration, and costly medical bills.

5. الوفاة الناتجة عن فعل غير مشروع

When the negligence or recklessness of a driver causes a fatality of the driver or a passenger in the car they hit, this is called wrongful death. In 2020, there were 970 fatal motor vehicle crashes in Arizona.

This obviously causes a tremendous amount of pain and suffering to the loved ones of the deceased, so there is often significant compensation involved to help ease the family through the grieving process.

Accidents are, unfortunately, part of life. In Arizona, vehicle accidents happen every day. In 2020 alone, there were 98,778 total crashes in the state of Arizona. While this number is lower than the number of crashes in years past, a large part of that is due to COVID-19 keeping many people at home more often than ever before.

Crash Victim Statistics

Of the 98,778 vehicle accidents that took place in Arizona in 2020, 28,610 of them resulted in injuries and 970 resulted in fatalities. 35,155 of the total number of people injured occurred in urban crashes and 2,863 injuries were the result of an alcohol-related crash.

Alcohol continues to play a significant role in Arizona car accidents, as the statistics show us year after year. It’s important to note that alcohol is not just a prevalent cause of accidents in Arizona, but all over the country.

Below are some of the most important statistics to be aware of, regarding types of Arizona vehicle accidents in 2020:

• January was the peak month for all motor vehicle crashes.

Can a 16-Year-Old Drive with Friends in Arizona?

One of the main perks of finally learning how to drive is being able to drive your friends around. Even the most mundane of errands can be a blast when you’re a newly licensed driver experiencing freedom and the open road for the first time ever.

This begs an important question: can a 16-year-old drive with friends in Arizona? Today, our skilled attorneys at The Law Office of Zayed Al-Sayyed will be answering that question. Whether you’re newly licensed or a seasoned driver, it’s important to understand the rules of the road.

Driver’s License Laws in Arizona

In the state of Arizona, once you graduate from a learner’s permit to a driver’s license, there is a set of restrictions you must abide by for the first six months. These restrictions are as follows:

• With some exception, you may not drive between the hours of 12 a.m. and 5 a.m.
• You are responsible for ensuring that your passengers have their seatbelt on
• Use of hand-held communication devices is strictly prohibited
• Unless your parent or legal guardian is in the passenger seat, you may only have one non-family passenger under the age of 18 in the vehicle

For the sake of our key question ‘can a 16-year-old drive with friends in Arizona’ it’s important to pay close attention to that last item on the list. For the first six months of being a licensed driver, you may only drive with one non-family passenger under the age of 18, unless a parent or legal guardian is also with you.

So, as a 16-year-old licensed driver in Arizona, you may only drive with multiple friends after the first six months of having your license. Once you’ve gotten through those first six months without any violations, you are free to safely drive your friends around. Then, at age 18, you will be eligible to apply for your Class D driver’s license.

Penalties for Teen Driving Violations in Arizona

In the event that you get pulled over for speeding, running a stop sign or red light, or violating any of the aforementioned restrictions, you are at risk of having your driver’s license revoked. Furthermore, that six-month probationary period of restriction can be extended if you are found guilty of negligence while driving.

It is important to follow this rule regarding the number of allowed passengers as a car full of rowdy friends opens the door for distractions galore. As a new driver, it is essential that you maintain your focus on the road to ensure the safety of yourself, your passengers, and everyone else on the road.

ماذا يحدث إذا تم القبض عليك وأنت تقود سيارتك بمفردك في ولاية أريزونا؟

One of the first rules new drivers in Arizona learn is that you can only drive with a learner’s permit when a licensed driver over the age of 21 is with you. We get it—having a learner’s permit feels like being so close to freedom, yet so far. Still, rules are rules.

Rules like this are in place to ensure the safety of you and everyone else on the road. So, what happens if you get caught driving with a permit by yourself in Arizona? In this easy-to-read article, the skilled personal injury lawyers at The Law Office of Zayed Al-Sayyed are answering that very question.

Driving Without a License in Arizona

Oftentimes, the term “driving without a license” is attributed to individuals who own a driver’s license, but simply forgot it at home. However, this term also applies to you if you’re driving with a learner’s permit by yourself in Arizona. It also holds a more severe penalty for you, as opposed to those who own a license but left it at home.

If you have a license but simply didn’t have it on your person at the time of getting pulled over, there’s typically a small fine and a court date to prove to the judge that you are a licensed driver. On the other hand, if you have not yet been issued a driver’s license by the Arizona MVD, then the charge is considered a class 2 misdemeanor.

Consequences of Driving Without a License in Arizona

A quick ride to the store with only a learner’s permit may seem like an innocent enough offense, but the weight of a class 2 misdemeanor is heavier than many people realize. The potential consequences of being caught driving with a permit by yourself in Arizona include:

• Up to 4 months in jail
• Up to 2 years of probation
• As much as $750 in fines
• Community service

The Importance of Driving with a Licensed Driver

If you’re a teenager with a brand new learner’s permit, having to ride with a 21-year-old may feel a lot like you’ve got a babysitter riding shotgun. The reality is that driving with a licensed driver in the car is an integral part of learning how to drive.

They are there to coach you through proper driving practices, highlight any errors for correction, and help you ultimately become a better driver. In the event of a mishap, this accompanying driver should be prepared to intervene and take control of the vehicle to avoid a potential accident.

1. عدم وجود نية إجرامية: هذا هو الدفاع الأكثر اعتمادًا عليه في حالات تعليق الرخصة. وتكمن فعاليته في حقيقة أن القيادة برخصة معلقة ليست جريمة مسؤولية صارمة. يتعين على الدولة إثبات أنك كنت على علم بالتعليق. ويتم اللجوء إلى هذا الدفاع عندما يمكن إثبات أن المتهم لم يتلق أي إشعار بتعليق الرخصة. وبشكل أساسي، هذا يخبر المحكمة أنك لم تكن على علم بتعليق رخصتك في البداية.
