Car Accidents Caused by Medical Conditions
Medical conditions that case car accidents are not issue that are unknown. Typically, the driver knows or should have suspected that they have a preexisting issue that may make it unsafe to drive. These kinds of problems include diabetes, heart problems, being prone to seizures, and eyesight issues. This does not entirely preclude someone from driving, it just requires a driver to take extra precautions when driving depending on the impairment.
Preexisting medical conditions can further complicate a car accident scene because such conditions are not so readily apparent. Often tests need to be conducted, and that is only if someone at the scene has reason to believe a medical test will provide answers. Even if a medical condition flares up while driving, there may be intervening causes that are the actual reason for the accident. This would mean that if the medical condition flare up was not too great and an intervening condition existed, that condition would be the main factor in the accident. In either scenario, the driver would be likely at fault and liable to any injured party for medical expenses, lost wages, and possibly punitive damages.
