Recent technological advancements, such as autonomous braking, lane assist, and even self-driving vehicles, should permit motor vehicles to be safer now than they have ever been. However, despite these preventative measures, there were over 7.2 million vehicular accidents in the United States in 2016, a 15% increase from the previous year. Car accidents can occur in a variety of ways, such as head on collision, rear-end, T-bone accidents, failure to yield, and several others. Similarly, these accidents can take place for multiple reasons:
