Combination of Factors
Many car accidents are caused by a variety of factors, including human error, mechanical failure, and road design. In many cases, we want one clear answer about what has caused a collision, but for many people who have been injured in Hollywood and other Florida communities there are no clear-cut answers. Instead, injured parties get a variety of explanations about what has led to their collision. Despite the complexity, however, it is essential to always investigate all the causes of a serious collision in order to find all liable parties to increase your chances of getting just compensation and benefits for your losses.
