Omaha Personal Injury Lawyer Alerts Drivers About Crash Rate And Premium Spikes

Auto accidents are on the rise and insurance companies are reacting with premium increases. Omaha lawyer Matthew G. Miller comments on this disturbing this trend.

Omaha, United States – November 30, 2018 /PressCable/ —

There has been an increase in car accidents lately, and many people have been questioning why this is the case. For Matthew G. Miller, an Omaha personal injury lawyer, the cause is clear: cell phone usage. While this has long been thought to be a cause of the increase, lawyers in particular have seen the end results of more and more people using their phones.

“I can attest that the rate of auto and truck accident injuries has increased recently, largely due to the increased number of drivers distracted by using their cell phones while driving. I’m proud to say that the Matthew G. Miller Law Firm is working harder than ever to ensure that those injured in such accidents receive the compensation that is rightly due to them.”

Whether on the actual phone or using hands free devices, people using their phones while driving are still impaired at similar levels, according to recent studies, and that is causing a problem. With more cars having built-in systems that allow internet usage, the problem keeps growing.

According to a recent report on accidents, insurance rates have been increasing because more and more people are getting into accidents. Even fender benders have led to more claims filed, which raises prices immensely.

Those claims come from many different sectors, including commercial drivers. Workers compensation claims are increasing at the same time, pointing to a relationship between the higher level of commercial vehicles on the road and the higher number of accidents. Other factors include aging drivers, longer work hours, and more drivers that do not have insurance at all.

Drug usage, particularly opioids, has also led to an increase in accidents. Another problem is the use of marijuana. As more states make it legal, driving while under the influence of marijuana is becoming more and more common. However, even in states where marijuana is legal, it is not legal to drive while under the influence of marijuana.

To reduce the chances for causing an auto accident, Omaha, NE drivers should focus their attention solely on driving.
