Victims injured in an accident caused by another motorist's negligence may be eligible for compensation for their injuries. Reckless driving, speeding, drunk driving, and other failures to maintain traffic safety rules can be some instances of a motorist's negligence.  Driving is a privilege, not a right, and when drivers neglect other people's safety on the road, they may find themselves liable for any accidents or injuries that result.
