Most motor vehicle accidents are preventable. Save for those that occur due to an unforeseen weather event or other circumstance beyond human control, most devastating crashes can be prevented. Often, preventable motor vehicle accidents occur because of negligent or reckless behavior on the part of drivers. However, dangerous road conditions and defective vehicle parts can also cause vehicles to collide. In these circumstances, those responsible for road conditions or the manufacture of the defective vehicle part may be held responsible for damages.
