The main causes of accidents

Anywhere in the United States, numerous accidents causing both minor and serious personal injuries have tremendously increased over the past few years. The continuing increase in the number of accidents has caused alarm most especially all over California with many asking what could be the very main reason why these accidents are still taking place and how come they are so hard to be prevented.

According to surveys, the primary reason why accidents are happening is because in one way or another, a person is being negligent or reckless in his or her conduct and affairs. Statistics further showed that an accident that happened could have been easily prevented if the persons involved in such an accident exercised the proper care and diligence that was required under the circumstances. For example, a vehicle accident is easily preventable if motorists would only faithfully and completely follow the prevailing traffic rules and regulations in the streets or roads where they are into. On the other hand, a simple case of slip and fall could also be avoided if the owner, proprietor or manager of a particular property exercises the due diligence required in the maintenance and operation of the premises he or she operates or manages. Furthermore, a medical malpractice can easily be prevented if the physician, nurse, medical personnel and their assistants would only follow the prescribed medical standards during an operation or even just in the prescription of a particular medicine.
