Common Causes of Findlay Auto Accidents

There are tens of thousands of accidents every year in Ohio alone. Some of the most common causes of Findlay auto accidents we see include:

• Distracted Driving: Anything that takes the driver’s attention away from the road qualifies as distracted driving—including texting, looking at the GPS, changing a radio station, eating, talking to a passenger, putting on make-up, etc.
• Traffic Violations: When a driver speeds, runs a stoplight, makes an illegal turn, etc., they can cause an auto accident.
• Driving Under the Influence: Getting behind the wheel even after one drink can be dangerous. Your judgment and reaction times are impaired, even when you are not at or above the legal limit. DUIs also apply to driving while on narcotics, even prescription ones, if a doctor tells you that you should not be operating a motor vehicle.
• Adverse Weather or Road Hazards: Some accidents have additional contributing factors such as road hazards like debris or potholes, etc., or adverse weather such as snow, rain, black ice, etc.
• Mechanical Failure: Some accidents involve a problem with the vehicle itself, such as faulty brakes or tire blowouts.

Types of Damages You Can Receive in a Findlay Car Accident

Each accident claim is different, as every accident is different. There are no two claims that are exactly alike, which is why we calculate your case value individually. Some of the potential damages you could receive compensation for include:

• Medical expenses accrued to date
• Future medical treatment
• Loss of earnings
• Future lost earning capacity
• Disfigurement
• Disability
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering

The more severe your injuries are, the more your claim might be worth.
