Motor accidents have been on the rise across the world. Due to the massive outbreak of the virus, the use of public transportation has reduced tremendously, which has led to people using their vehicles to commute between different suburbs and metropolitan cities. Such high traffic levels often lead to severe or minor motor accidents. If a person has been involved in such an accident or has been a victim of one, he/she has to take necessary legal help to get proper compensation or prove innocence or guilt.

I, Priashna Singh, am an attorney working in Brampton, Canada. My firm and I work towards helping our clients involved in such motor accidents with court proceedings and also help them get the compensation they deserve. Motor accidents are on the rise, and dealing legally with these accidents is mandatory in today’s world. So, make sure that you get in touch with my firm or me in Brampton to get any assistance for dealing with the legal side of motor accidents.

Motor accidents can take place due to many different conditions. The causes can be due to some natural phenomena or due to the vehicle driver’s negligence. The legal proceedings vary from one cause to another. Below, I have mentioned some of the most common causes that lead to motor accidents.

1] Negligence of drivers: One of the most common and frequent causes of motor accidents is drivers’ negligence. Drivers and pedestrians should diligently follow road safety regulations. Negligence for even a fraction of a second can lead to a major accident that can endanger the driver and innocent pedestrians’ lives. Drunken driving has resulted in many motor accidents across the world in recent years. It is the duty of every registered and licensed driver that he/she is not under the influence of alcohol while driving a vehicle. Also, many motor accidents occur due to the driver’s ongoing telephone calls while driving his vehicle. Automobile corporations have come up with hands-free mode and Bluetooth facilities installed in the vehicle beforehand. Every driver should ensure that he/she prioritizes safe and secure driving by enabling the Bluetooth option whenever there is an urgency of making or receiving a phone call.

2] Poor road conditions: Poor and unrepaired roads endanger the lives of the drivers and pedestrians. Potholes and patchy dents on the roads result in worsening the vehicle’s and driver’s health. Sometimes, because of poor road conditions, a vehicle may lose its balance and composure and collide with something off-road, which may risk many people’s lives. Government authorities and private organizations should make mandatory monthly repairs and checks of the roads to ensure safer and smoother commuting.

3] Unrepaired and defective vehicles: As I mentioned earlier, the driver’s negligence is one of the most common causes of motor accidents. Vehicle maintenance and servicing is the duty of every vehicle owner. Constant use of a vehicle results in wear and tear of some components, which require immediate attention and action. The owner of that vehicle must see to it that those defective components are either repaired or replaced to ensure an efficient and unproblematic condition of the vehicle. Small defects can hamper a vehicle’s condition while in use and may result in a motor accident that endangers many people’s lives. So, make sure you keep a regular check on your vehicle and ensure its proper maintenance. 

4] Traffic rules and regulations: Municipal authorities worldwide have set specific standards that are to be followed by drivers of that specific area. Speed limits, pedestrian and animal crossings, horn restrictions, and reserved area standards are set in certain areas, which are to be diligently followed by drivers. Lack of concern and respect towards these standards results in mishaps and motor accidents that endanger people’s lives. Every responsible driver must follow these set standards while driving his/her vehicle. Also, respecting the basic principles of traffic signals is very necessary. Ensure that you follow all the standards wholeheartedly and make your overall driving experience safer and more memorable.

These are some of the reasons that lead to motor accidents in Brampton and across various parts of the world. If you have been involved in an accident in some way, below are the steps you should immediately follow to make a strong legal case in court.

1] Get proper medical treatment: If you are a victim of a motor accident, I would recommend taking proper medical treatment immediately after the events of the accident. I believe that a person should always prioritize his/her health and well-being over everything. Get your wounds treated and buy the medications mentioned by the doctor. Also, compose a medical report from the doctor, which has proper details about the doctor’s consultation time and action. This medical report can be used as an important document in strengthening our legal case against the authority in question.

2] Make a detailed report of everything: After getting the necessary medical treatment from a certified doctor, make sure that you visit the scene of the accident, and contact the person or persons in question. Take pictures and videos of the accident spot and get in touch with nearby witnesses. Try to get statements from the witnesses and make a detailed report of all the findings. Make sure that this document is verified and signed by the authority in question. 3] Contact my firm or me at the earliest: Motor accidents cause massive emotional and physical distress to the victim.
