What Are The Most Common Causes Of Car Accidents?

Car accidents take a serious toll on Indianapolis families. In 2024, 122 people died in traffic crashes in Marion County, and in 2025, Indianapolis was the scene of 85 fatal crashes. Many of these wrecks trace back to the same few causes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) identifies the most common causes of car accidents as:

• Distracted driving: This is a leading cause of accidents, occurring when motorists prioritize their phones or other distractions over the safety of those around them.
  Aggressive driving: These behaviors create dangerous situations that leave other drivers with little time to react or avoid a crash.
  Impaired driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains a serious threat, as substances slow reaction times and impair judgment.
  Poor weather: Rain, snow and ice also contribute to many crashes, including in Marion County’s winter months.

Additionally, dangerous roadways such as Interstate 465, I-65 and I-70 are the scenes of many accidents. There are also hazardous intersections in the city such as:

• Rockville Road and Country Club Road
• Keystone Avenue and 38th Street
• 10th Street and Girls School Road
• Crawfordsville Road and Cunningham Road
• County Line Road and US 31

The dangers of these intersections include congested traffic, multiple turning lanes, traffic merging, speeding, distracted driving and failure to yield to oncoming traffic. If you were injured in these intersections or anywhere in the city, we can protect your claim.

What Are The Most Common Car Accident Injuries In Indianapolis?

Some of the most common injuries sustained in a car accident include:

• Head injuries: Striking the steering wheel, window, or dashboard often causes cuts or fractures.
• Neck injuries: The sudden force of a collision strains delicate muscles and ligaments, leading to stiffness and chronic pain.
• Spinal cord injuries: Violent impacts can damage the nerves within the spinal column.
• Severe trauma and amputations: Catastrophic crashes may crush limbs or damage tissue so severely that surgical removal is necessary to save the victim’s life.
• Whiplash: This specific injury happens when the head snaps back and forth rapidly, often causing delayed pain and limited range of motion.
• Traumatic brain injuries: A violent jolt to the head can disrupt normal brain function. This condition may lead to long-term memory loss, personality changes and cognitive struggles.

Many of these injuries require months or even years of rehabilitation. Some symptoms may not appear until days after the crash. Whether you were injured in a car, truck or motorcycle accident, it is vital to seek a full medical evaluation immediately to document the harm done to you.

Should You Give A Recorded Statement To The Other Driver’s Insurance Company?

No, you should not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company. They will try to use your statement against you and blame you for the accident. You should talk with a lawyer before speaking with an insurance company. We are here to advise you on giving statements to the other driver’s insurance carrier.

Can You Still Get Compensation If You Were Partially At Fault For The Crash?

Yes, you can still get compensation if you were partially at fault for the crash. However, you cannot be more than 50% at fault. If your fault is 51% or greater, you cannot recover compensation. Note that your recovery will be reduced by the amount of fault assessed to you. If the total damages are $100,000 and you are 50% at fault, you would recover $50,000.

Why Work With KMB Legal, LLC, After A Car Accident

The aftermath of a crash affects both your physical health and your financial stability. You may be unable to work while medical bills continue to arrive, creating a cycle of stress that hinders your recovery.

Attempting to handle this legal battle alone is risky. In Indianapolis, personal injury victims generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Furthermore, the state operates under comparative fault rules. Insurance companies may attempt to deny your claim if they prove you were more than 50 percent to blame for the crash. This is especially complex in cases involving rideshare accidents, where navigating multiple commercial insurance policies requires a sophisticated legal strategy.

We protect you from these pitfalls. Our firm has a proven track record of winning big cases and recovering millions of dollars for our clients in personal injury and wrongful death claims. We rely on aggressive approaches to challenge insurance companies and force them to take your claim seriously. 

Representation For Additional Motor Vehicle Accidents

All vehicle accidents are life-altering events that happen daily on the roads of Indianapolis and throughout the state. Whether a collision involves passenger vehicles, motorcycles, or pedestrians and bicyclists, the impact on a victim’s life can be devastating. Injuries range from severe physical trauma to long-term emotional distress, often accompanied by the heavy burden of medical bills and lost wages.

Due to their substantial size and weight, truck accidents, including those involving delivery vehicles, can lead to serious or fatal injuries. If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident, our legal team can provide effective legal assistance to help you obtain compensation for your injuries.
