There are about 254 billion passenger cars in U.S.A according to a statistical estimate. The U.S population is about 310,944,000 which imply that there are as many cars as human population. Hence, there is no wonder that there will be car accidents on US highways.

Several laws, improved car designs and improvement in road conditions have reduced accident but couldn’t stop it altogether. There can be several causes of car accidents-

• A person Driving under Influence (DUI) can injure himself. Amount of intoxication can lead to damage to property or death of another person.
• Equipment failure can also result in accident. For example- there may be failure of breaks.
• Distractions while driving can also cause accidents. For example- talking over phone while driving.
• Poor roadway design and lack of proper maintenance can result in accidents too. Icy or snowy roads in combination with driver’s recklessness can result in serious injuries.

It has been estimated that 95% of accidents are due to driver behavior. In case of a car accident a car accident attorney becomes indispensable. He is a specialist in US car laws. His work is to protect the offender or the victim by finding loopholes in law as well as the construction of the case by the prosecutor.
