The Most Common Causes of Accidents in New Jersey

The top three reasons for motor vehicle crashes in the Garden State are:

  • Distracted driving
  • Speeding
  • Drunk driving

Distracted driving is the act of participating in any activity that diverts your attention away from the road in front of you. The rates of distracted driving crashes are becoming more and more prevalent due to the increased popularity of handheld technology. In fact, over  391,000  people in New Jersey find themselves in accidents related to handheld devices on an annual basis. Speeding and drunk driving follow close in line, being the second and third most common causes for accidents in the state of New Jersey. Both of these causes are considered a public safety risk by the state, so it is best to retain a reputable Princeton NJ auto accident attorney such as the Law Offices of Faloni Law Group to help you gain rightful compensation.
