NEGLIGENCE AND FAULT IN ACCIDENTS INVOLVING ANIMALS
It may seem that an animal crossing the street is a random occurrence that cannot be helped. While that is sometimes the case, it is not always so. There are often circumstances – both obvious and obscure – that can contribute to the accident and put another party at fault for your damages. Sometimes, another driver’s negligence can lead to these accidents or make them worse.
Some forms of negligence that may have played a role in your accident could include:
SPEEDING
Drivers who are traveling above the speed limit could contribute to an accident. If they are going too fast, they may not be able to respond in time or control their vehicle to safely avoid an animal, as opposed to a driver who is going the speed limit.
DISTRACTED DRIVING PRACTICES
If a driver is texting, talking on their phone, or doing anything else that takes their attention away from the road, they might not see an animal crossing the street.
IMPAIRED DRIVING
Motorists who drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol have impaired reflexes and reactions, which can lead to accidents or make them worse.
OTHER SITUATIONS CAN ESTABLISH FAULT
While the factors we outlined above can cause or exacerbate an accident caused by an animal crossing the street, this is by no means an exhaustive list. There could be other ways in which a negligent motorist could be held responsible for the damages arising from a crash. Factors such as vehicular malfunction, inclement weather conditions, and other forms of human error could have played a role in your accident and injuries.
