Car Accidents

Every day, people are injured or killed in car crashes.  In 2006, there were over 30,000 fatalities nationwide in either passenger car or light truck crashes.  Although car crashes are often referred to as car "accidents," a crash is usually the result of a driver's carelessness.

The legal term for carelessness is "negligence."  The law provides that a person is responsible for damages caused by their negligence.
