Which Safety Features Should You Look for in Your Next Car?

Auto manufacturers introduce new safety features every single year. If you are shopping for a vehicle, you should read up on all the latest advancements in safety technology so you know what to look for in your next car.

Many of today’s most popular safety features are designed with one of two goals in mind: to reduce the risk of collisions or to reduce the severity of injuries when collisions do occur. Of course, even cars with the highest safety ratings and the most advanced features are only as safe as the people who drive them.

Despite the significant breakthroughs in the automotive industry over the past decade, no technology exists that can prevent all accidents. If you were injured in a collision with a negligent driver, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and non-economic damages.

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, our attorneys have the resources, knowledge, and courtroom experience to help you fight for the maximum compensation. Call 800-522-6733 to schedule a free consultation with an auto accident attorney in Marksville.

Read on to learn about a few safety features that you should look for in your next vehicle:

  1. Lane-Keeping Assist

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accidental lane departure contributes to 37 percent of all fatal collisions. Lane-keeping assist aims to reduce the risk of such accidents by using the electric power steering system to take control of a vehicle that is drifting out of its lane. These systems rely on cameras and sensors to detect lane departure and then gently guide the vehicle back on course.

    Rear Cross Traffic Alert

Rear cross traffic alert warns drivers of vehicles traveling behind them when they are backing out of a parking space or driveway. Sensors strategically placed around the rear of the car detect vehicles that are approaching from the left or right, and they warn the driver accordingly.

    I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

    Forward-Collision Warning

Forward-collision warning is similar to rear cross traffic alert, but instead of monitoring the back of the vehicle, it monitors the front. This safety feature uses sensors to scan for cars up ahead and will alert the motorist if the car is approaching a vehicle too quickly so he or she has time to react and prevent a collision.

If all vehicles had these features, the risk of certain kinds of collisions would reduce dramatically. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of cars on the road utilize the latest automotive technology.

If you were hurt in a crash that was not your fault, a Marksville personal injury lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you navigate the claims process and avoid costly mistakes.
