The following are the most common types of
motor vehicle accidents:
Rear-end
collisions: These accidents are often caused by the
sudden slowing down or braking of one vehicle in front of another, or by a
driver following a vehicle too closely or accelerating to a higher speed than
the vehicle in front.
Side-impact
collisions: These types of accidents occur when the
side of a vehicle is hit and impacted by the front or rear of another vehicle.
They commonly occur at intersections and parking lots.
Sideswipe
collisions: These accidents occur when two cars are
parallel to each other.
Rollover
accidents: Rollover accidents occur when vehicles
literally flip over onto the side or roof. They are often caused by sharp turns
at high speeds
Head-on
collisions: These collisions occur when the front
ends of two vehicles impact each other.
Single-car
accidents: Accidents involving only one vehicle
occur when a vehicle strikes an object such as a pole, a tree, a fire hydrant
or a wall.
