Types of Car Accidents
There are three main categories in which car accidents can occur. They are:
Commercial Vehicle
A "commercial" vehicle is generally the term applied to vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds. This includes large trucks, such as tractor trailers and big rigs, as well as buses. These types of vehicles often carry large cargo, and can be more difficult to control than smaller vehicles. Although drivers of large trucks must meet certain federal and state requirements for sleep and time off, many car wreck incidents involving commercial vehicles occur due to driver exhaustion, and truck driver distractions.
Multiple Vehicle
Multiple vehicle accidents, or collisions involving more than one vehicle, can include side-impact, head-on, and rear-end collisions. Sometimes, liability in these cases can be difficult to determine, particularly where liability is in dispute. If you have been involved in a multiple vehicle accident, contact our central Florida firm to speak with our car wreck attorneys as soon after an accident as possible to help secure any losses you may incur.
Single Vehicle
Accidents involving only one vehicle can include SUV rollovers and collisions with objects such as trees, buildings, or posts. Some of these accidents can be caused by defective auto parts and products. SUV rollovers in particular have become more common since larger passenger vehicles have been gaining popularity. Located in offices near Orlando, the car wreck attorneys of Timothy H. David, P.A. are prepared to work with you to seek compensation if you have been a victim of a single vehicle accident.
Defective Auto Parts and Car Wrecks
We trust that our vehicles are equipped with functioning safety features, but sometimes that's not always the case. Safety belts, airbags, door latches, and other features may not work as they are supposed to because of faulty design or manufacture. Defects in a vehicle's tires have also been known to cause major and sometimes fatal accidents. Defective tires in particular have been linked to many SUV rollover accidents, which prompted a massive recall of tires by Firestone just a few years ago. In central Florida, our defective auto parts attorneys at the firm of Timothy H. David, P.A. can review your case and seek evidence to determine if your accident may have been caused by flaws inherent in your vehicle's parts. A vehicle's crashworthiness test, or its ability to protect its occupants in the event of collision, is often taken into account in defective auto parts claims. Designers and manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure that the product is safe, and that installed safety features react properly on impact.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a car wreck that you feel may have been caused by a defect in your car's parts, contact our defective auto parts attorneys and we will review your case.
Driver Liability
Liability on the part of another driver accounts for a large portion of car accidents. In fact, about 40 percent of car accident fatalities are caused by drunk drivers, 33 percent result from reckless driving, and 30 percent occur due to speeding. Many car accidents are caused by a distracted driver who loses control of the vehicle.

Pursuing Compensation after a Car Wreck
The Orlando, Florida- area car wreck attorneys of Timothy H. David, P.A. know that the effects of a car accident can be devastating to many areas of your life. Medical bills, damage repairs, and emotional turmoil caused by these accidents can sap you of your strength and your financial resources. You may be more likely to obtain adequate compensation by hiring an attorney to help you through the aftermath of a serious car wreck than by relying on an insurance company, which may want to settle for far less than what the actual long-term costs may be. A lawyer can be especially helpful if your accident was caused by defective auto parts, since product liability claims are often complex, requiring legal expertise to reach a successful outcome.
Our personal injury lawyers can review your case and discuss your legal options. It is the plaintiff's responsibility to prove negligence on the part of another person or group in order to establish his or her liability. If negligence is proven, possible compensation amounts will be examined, taking into account a number of factors, including:
- Medical bills
- Property damage
- Lost wages, both past and future
- Pain and suffering
Our car accident attorneys can help you through this difficult time. We have the knowledge and the expertise to thoroughly review your case and possibly seek compensation from those responsible for your accident.
