DARYL T. DIXON, A WESTERN KENTUCKY PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY, DISCUSSES NEGLIGENCE AS A CAUSE OF CAIRO ROAD ACCIDENT

One of the most common, and preventable, causes of automobile collisions in Paducah, Kentucky is inattentiveness. This failure to pay attention to the road, surroundings, and other vehicles seemed to be the cause of the wreck on the 7600 block of Cairo Road Tuesday evening. Inattentiveness can be translated as negligence in legal terms. In relation to the circumstances surrounding the accident, it was the negligence of the driver's failure to yield and give the right away to oncoming traffic that caused the collision. It is also sufficient to say that had it not been for the driver's negligence, Paul Richter would not have been injured as a result of the accident.
