A Car Accident or car crash is an incident in which an automobile collides with anything that causes damage to the automobile or in which the driver loses control of the vehicle and damages it in some other way, such as driving into a ditch or rolling over. A Car Accident may also refer to an automobile striking a human or animal. They are also called road traffic accidents (RTAs), traffic collisions, auto accidents, road accidents, personal injury collisions, motor vehicle accidents (MVAs). Car accidents kill an estimated 1.2 million people worldwide each year, and injure about forty times this number. As a result, Car Accident lawyers can be of great service.
