Causes of Wrong Way Driving Accidents

wrong way driving accidents

Wrong way driving accidents usually result from the negligence of another driver. In other words, if a driver exercised proper care, they would not have been driving on the wrong side of the road. Examples of reasons that drivers are on the wrong side of the road include:

  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Nighttime driving
  • Elderly drivers
  • Confusion about which roads are one-way
  • Confusion about exit ramp directions
  • Passing another car
  • Falling asleep at the wheel and drifting into another lane
  • Drivers unable to properly see at night
  • Missing signage about the street direction
  • Talking on the phone or texting
  • Inadequate lighting

Recovery after a Wrong Way Driving Accident in Atlanta, Georgia

You may have experienced serious injuries resulting from a wrong way driving accident. Because of the head-on nature of the collision, injuries may be extensive. Compensation for your injuries will come from the insurance company of the driver who was at fault for the accident. Negotiating with the insurance company directly is an option. However, remember that insurance is a for-profit business. This means that their very nature is to try to save as much money as possible for their financial profit – the opposite motivation for giving you a generous settlement.

If you are involved in a wrong way driving accident, you are entitled to recovery for your damages, including:

  • Property damage
  • Medical Bills
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Lost Wages

Central to recovery is that the victim of a wrong-way driving accident must prove that the other driver was negligent. In other words, the other driver did not exercise care to other drivers by obeying traffic laws and therefore caused the accident. That a driver was driving in the wrong direction is established by evidence (1.) about the direction that both cars were driving and (2.) whether the street was one-way or two-way.

Help Negotiating with Insurance Carriers

To quickly resolve matters following an accident, insurance companies will offer you less than you deserve in compensation for your injuries. Many victims feel pressured to accept these offers as the bills begin to pile up, but that is rarely a good idea.
