There is a debate about the use of the word accident in the context of motor-vehicle incidents. Incidents often result from carelessness or deliberate dangerous driving, rather than from circumstances beyond the control of one or more participants. Some road traffic safety authorities have started using alternative expressions such as car crash or car wreck in an attempt to educate drivers and emphasise that many incidents are entirely avoidable.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car crash, you may be entitled to compensation. Fill out this short form for a free legal review within 48 hours.
