The lawyers at Bockman & Olson P.C. are experienced at handling car accident claims and cases.  

The cause of car accidents vary but they can usually be divided into intentional misconduct, product liability and negligence.  "Acts of Nature" is a cause but rarely happens.  

Negligence is the most common cause due to a driver not exercising reasonable care.  Negligence is not an intentional act to cause harm but a failure to be careful.

Intentional conduct is when the driver knows the actions being used could cause harm but does not care.

Common reasons for car accidents:

• Speeding
• Failure to signal when turning
• Not obeying traffic signals or lights
• Driving under the influence
• Defective or recalled vehicles
• Distractions
• Cell phone / either talking or texting
