Harrisburg Driver Error Lawyers

Although much attention is rightfully paid to the problems of drunk, drowsy, and reckless driving, these do not account for even half of the accidents that occur on Pennsylvania’s roads and highways. According to the National Safety Council, as much as 77 % of car accidents in the United States are the direct result of driver error, which can be a confusing problem to understand.

If another driver’s error was the main cause of a collision that struck you, your car, or other property, contact the Harrisburg driver error lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511.

Understanding the Problem

Driver error is an elusive concept because it covers such a broad spectrum of actions and inactions behind the wheel as opposed to one concrete and defined issue. The Harrisburg driver error attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. are here to represent you if you have been the victim of an automobile accident caused by:

• Overcorrection from a skid caused by road surface or tire conditions
• Distracted driving (such as using cell phones, adjusting the radio, or talking to passengers)
• Failure to note traffic light changes

Inadvertently pressing the gas pedal instead of the brake, or vice versa

• Misjudgment of distance when changing lanes or turning out onto a road from a stop
• Improper gear shifting in a vehicle with a manual transmission

Most drivers experience one or more of these mishaps at some point but are fortunate enough that they do not result in an accident. However, just because there is no malice and no legally prohibited behavior does not mean that a driver is not subject to legal action arising from a crash caused by driver error.
