DISTRACTED DRIVING: Easily the most common cause of car accidents! It is estimated that around 35 percent of all accidents in Boca Raton are caused by people taking their eyes off the road.

DRUNK DRIVING: Driving under the influence is typically the cause of many disastrous accidents. Aside from alcohol, drugs also fall under the same category.

FATIGUED DRIVING: You may be surprised to hear that driving while tired, or “fatigued driving”, can actually have effects similar to drunk driving! The legal limit for BAC (blood alcohol concentration) is 0.05%, meanwhile, according to the CDC, driving after being awake for 24 hours is the same as driving with a BAC of 0.10%!

AGGRESSIVE DRIVING: “Road Rage” is a very real thing, and it is very easy for normally calm people to lose composure, especially after a “near-miss” from speeding, tailgating, or any other infuriating behaviors on the road.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: Weather is always chaotic in Florida, especially with various storms and hurricanes always occurring. After heavy rain, cars can often skid across the water, otherwise known as “hydroplaning”, rather than remain sticking to the road. This greatly affects the tires’ friction, negatively impacting the maneuverability of your vehicle.

VEHICULAR FAILIURES: Vehicles wear down over time, sometimes giving out at the worst times. This can either be due to lack of inspections and general care for the vehicle or it can be that the vehicle had a defective part.

If you are involved in a car accident in Boca Raton, our lawyer at the Fischetti Law Group can help you by finding out exactly what type of accident you were in. A single car accident can fall under multiple categories, so this information can be helpful in determining how much you can be compensated for your injuries and vehicle damages.

Rear-End Collisions: Many times, a car driver doesn’t notice the vehicle in front of them in time (or sometimes at all) and hits them from behind. On really rare occasions, someone attempts insurance fraud and backs up into the person behind them while they aren’t paying attention, so always be sure that, even at a full stop, to keep your eyes on the road.

Head-On Collisions: This type of accident often occurs when another vehicle swerves off their side of the road, colliding with the front of another vehicle. This type of accident is often the most fatal, due to it resulting in the greatest impact.

Side-Impact Collisions (T-Bones): If a car gets hit in the side, this results in an accident type often called a “T-Bone” due to it’s shape. The name may sound a bit silly, however this accident is anything but, as most vehicles do not have side air bags to protect them from these types of impacts, resulting in worse injuries and even death in many cases.

Hit and Run Accidents: Any existing car accident becomes additionally labelled as a hit and run if a driver attempting to avoid responsibility flees from the crash. This results in far worse punishment than the accident would normally cost them.

Pedestrian Accidents: Due to their lack of protection, pedestrians often extremely life altering injuries, and commonly die in these types of incidents. If you or a loved one has been hurt, know that the Fischetti Law Group will do whatever we can to give you your life back.

DUI Accidents: Any type of accident where a driver was Driving Under the Influence of drugs or usually alcohol. Unfortunately, it is a very common cause for many incidents.

Single-Vehicle Accidents: When only one vehicle is involved in an accident, like a drunk driver hitting a streetlamp for example. Whether you are involved in such an incident and need help collecting on an insurance policy, or if you had your property damaged as a result of a Single-Vehicle Accident, know that the Fischetti Law Group can help you there too!

Multi-Vehicle Collisions (Pileups): A large, traffic-delaying accident that involves more than just two vehicles. Typically, a very destructive and complicated accident that will definitely require legal assistance.
