Rear end collisions occur every 17 seconds in the United States. Neck injuries are the most common crash related injury. Many automobiles offer inadequate protection from whiplash injuries. Better head restraints and seatbacks could prevent or minimize whiplash injuries. Whiplash can occur at speeds as low as 10 mph.A whiplash injury happens when the neck and head are thrown forward and back

Almost all vehicles on the road today are safer than they have been in the past. Still, automobile accidents are the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 35. The most important safety feature in an automobile is the person behind the wheel.Crash results from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and rollover ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Injuries sustained in the crash of an 18 wheeler or tractor trailer accident with an automobile, needless to say, are usually very serious, often fatal. This is because automobiles are not designed or manufactured to endure the impact of a commercial truck accident.A fully loaded commercial truck can weigh in excess of 80,000 pounds. The average automobile weighs approximately 3,000 pounds.

Rollover crashes cause 33% of motor vehicle accident fatalities. Since sport utility vehicles feature the design characteristics that make rollovers likely and since they are so popular with the American driving public, rollover crashes are of great concern to us all. Thousands of people in this country are injured or killed in rollover accidents every year. All vehicles are capable of rolling

Elderly drivers are more prone to having an automobile accident than younger drivers. Some older people are capable of continuing to drive well into their eighties and beyond. Many, however, are at a higher risk for accidents.A person sixty-five or older is likely to be more seriously injured in an automobile accident and more likely to die from injuries in a crash. Fatalities rise sharply after

The decision to drink or use drugs and drive is no accident. These people should be held accountable to their victims and the criminal justice system. Putting an impaired driver in prison is small comfort to the family of the victim who is maimed or killed in an accident involving an impaired driver.Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is one of the major causes of automobile accidents

The modern automobile is engineered and manufactured to the highest standards possible. One aspect not under the control of modern automobile producers, however, is aggressive driver behavior. Aggressive driving can be seen in aggressive tailgating, gesturing and the deliberate obstruction of the movement of another vehicle.Aggressive driving often leads to "road rage". Road rage behaviors such

Seat belts can prevent deaths in half of all automobile accidents. Why then do people still not wear them? Some reasons expressed for not wearing seat belts in a survey include, "I’m only going a short distance". It is reported that 80% of fatalities in an automobile accident occur within 25 miles of home driving under 40 mph. Another reason quoted is "I'm a good driver, I won’t have an accident"

Speeding causes accidents. Speeding causes more fatalities than drunk driving. As a matter of fact, speeding is a major factor in one third of automobile accidents in this country every year. Driving at a high rate of speed reduces the time needed to respond, to react and to execute the proper maneuver to avoid an accident.The faster you drive, the greater the risk you will have an accident.

When a defective tire fails the results could be wide ranging. You may be lucky enough to only have to change the tire on some deserted road, or you may find yourself in a hospital with serious injuries.In recent years several major tire manufacturers have been held responsible for injuries and deaths resulting from the failure of their defective tires. Millions of dollars in damages have been

Laws in every state require a driver that has been involved in an automobile accident stop and exchange information with the others involved.Failure to stop after an accident is called a "hit and run" and has serious consequences under the law. Hit and run is a very serious charge in most, if not all, states. A hit and run with damage to another vehicle will almost certainly be assessed damages

Inclement weather is one of the leading causes of automobile accidents. Heavy rain, high winds, snow and ice covered roads and fog make driving difficult and hazardous. The chance of an automobile accident increases dramatically in inclement weather. Bad weather conditions cause poor visibility and less traction. When snow or rain combine with dirty water and slush, windshields become covered and
