Types of Auto Accidents
- Car Collision—According to Einsurance and News9, 77 percent of drivers have been in at least one car wreck. Whether a crash is a rear-ender, T-bone collision, fender bender, or a rollover crash, victims often sustain serious injuries.
- Truck Collision—Collisions with trucks, buses, and other large vehicles only exacerbates the likelihood that the other party sustains serious injuries.
- Motorcycle Collision—Motorcyclists are at extreme peril when drivers do not give them enough space, make turns or lane changes without checking over their shoulders, or speed through intersections without the right of way.
- Pedestrian Collision—Pedestrian fatalities and injuries have spiked dramatically in the last few years. While car occupants are being kept relatively safe with advanced crash protection technologies in this time of extreme distraction and aggressive driving, pedestrians are being struck down in the thousands every week.
- Bicyclist Collision—Due to abhorrent traffic safety measures and infrastructure for cyclists, aggressive drives, and driver distraction, one in five cyclist fatalities in the nation happens right here in Florida, according to StreetsBlog.
- Scooter Collision—Scooters, e-scooters, and e-scooter rideshare apps are in growing demand in St. Petersburg due to their ease of use, efficiency, and excitement. However, some car drivers, and sometimes aggressive pedestrians, are not so enthusiastic. Sharing limited space with drivers can pose a serious threat to scooter riders.
- Defective Part Collision—Some traffic collisions are caused by defective manufacturing or design. Seat belts, tires, air bags, brakes, and child seats are all prime examples of how a defective product can result in a crash, or a failure to protect as designed in the event of a crash. In these cases, the manufacturer can be held accountable.
