5 Ways Driver Negligence Can Hurt You (Pt. 3)

Here’s the conclusion to our blog series entitled, 5 Ways Driver Negligence Can Hurt You.

Another Form of Driver Negligence: Reckless Driving

In some cases, the driver negligence that leads to severe traffic accidents will come in the form of other motorists simply not complying with traffic laws. For instance, while some drivers may simply think they can “get away” with not abiding by things like stops signs, red lights and speed limits, others may violate traffic laws because they are in a hurry, they don’t know the laws and/or they simply don’t care to abide by them.

Whatever the reason may be, the fact of the matter is that:

• Traffic laws are in place for a reason.
• When drivers fail to abide by these laws, accidents are far more likely to happen (particularly during high traffic times and/or in highly traffic areas, like major intersections).

The Bottom Line about Driver Negligence

When it comes to driver negligence, the bottom line is that:

• Driver negligence, however it’s displayed, is never acceptable and, in many cases, is outright illegal.
• Drivers are not the only ones on the road who can be negligent, as pedestrians, motorcycle riders, bicycle riders, etc. who share the roads with motorists can also be negligent and, in doing so, cause traffic accidents.
• When driver negligence – or any type of negligence – leads to motor vehicle accidents, injured people may have the right to compensation for their injuries and losses, and they can turn to Attorney Kenneth Shakeshaft for experienced help obtaining the compensation they likely deserve.
