6 Causes of Car Accidents in the Holiday Season

The holiday season is considered the most wonderful time of the year. However, one sure way to fall out of the holiday spirit is by being injured in a damaging car accident. Unfortunately, car accidents during the holidays are more common than one would hope.

Younglove Law Group is a team of experienced car accident lawyers helping clients who have suffered losses as a result of a negligent party. To avoid getting injured and suffering losses, it is crucial you are knowledgeable of some of the most common causes of car accidents during the holidays.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Car Accidents During the Holidays?

The holidays are often a time of hustle and bustle as families travel to see loved ones and are rushing to get gifts or prepare for holiday meals. With increased traffic on the roads, the likelihood of an accident is all the more common.

When it comes to car accidents, one of the most common causes is human negligence. When another driver does not uphold their duty of care owed to other drivers, they can be found negligent if an accident occurs. Some of the most common causes of car accidents during the holidays are as follows:

Increased Traffic

With more cars on the road rushing to get to their next holiday-related destination, accidents occur more frequently.

Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol

Holiday parties can often lead to individuals drinking more heavily and attempting to get behind the wheel of their car while under the influence of alcohol.

Reckless Drivers

Congested roads during busy travel periods and other holiday stressors can lead some drivers to display signs of road rage or recklessness behind the wheel.

Distracted Drivers

During all the holidays, drivers may be more distracted behind the wheel as they try to remember what the day’s plans look like and what items they need to remember. This stress can lead drivers to be less alert while behind the wheel which can be highly dangerous.

In addition to holiday-specific stress, distracted driving also includes texting and driving or eating while driving, which are very common causes of accidents.

Fatigued Driving

Days are often extra busy during the holiday months and more drivers travel long distances to spend the holidays with loved ones. This often results in more fatigued drivers who are at risk of falling asleep or becoming drowsy at the wheel.

Inclement Weather

Rain, fog, and other inclement weather in California can hinder visibility, reduce tire traction, and increase the risk of drivers losing control of their vehicles as they drive to their holiday destinations.

If you have been injured in a car accident during the holiday season, you are possibly entitled to collect damages for the losses you have suffered. The damages you are often eligible to collect include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. If you are unsure what damages you are eligible to collect, contact a trusted car accident lawyer in California as soon as possible.
