While it is true that auto accidents have numerous causes, the most common cause for car crashes and collisions continues to be driver negligence. It is the duty of all drivers and motorists throughout Arizona and Texas to exercise caution when operating any motor vehicle, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, commercial vehicles, and trailers. A lack of attention and failure to conduct the safe operation of a vehicle will often lead to serious injury.

Although driver negligence is the primary cause of auto accidents, many times drivers are subject to injury without being at fault. Even the safest of drivers are not exempt from the dangers and potential harms that may result from a reckless driver. This can quickly escalate into a major concern if the driver who struck you is uninsured or underinsured.

A personal injury attorney will assist you throughout the entire process of filing your accident claim. You may be entitled to compensation even if you were uninsured at the time of your auto accident. This can also apply if the guilty party was uninsured or underinsured. Furthermore, Arizona and Texas’s law of comparative fault can protect you by allocating damages based of an individual party’s percentage of fault.
