The law of negligence is the deciding factor on car accidents. Anyone who negligently operates a vehicle may be required to pay for any damages they caused by their negligence, either to person or property. Reasonable care must be exercised by people who operate autos under the circumstances. Most lawsuits are based on failure to use reasonable care with vehicles.

A number of factors come in to play in the courtroom as to whether a driver was negligent. For example:

Driving too fast or too slow
Failure to signal your intentions
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
A disregard for weather or traffic conditions
Disobeying traffic signals or signs
Failing to drive on the right side of the road

The driver may be liable if their intentional or reckless conduct causes an accident.
