Fault In A Car Accident

Determining #fault in a #caraccident is not always black and white. Usually it depends on what type of #accident it was. Did you rear end someone? If that's the case, the person who rear ended another vehicle is typically at fault. Was there a stop light? Red light cameras can help. There are a lot of factors that go into determining fault for #insurance companies and luckily there are a lot of sophisticated ways to find out the #truth.

Nowadays #lawyers can use crash reports, google earth, accident reconstruction experts, data recorders, and witness statements to help determine fault in a car accident. This is especially useful if both parties involved deny that the accident was caused by them.

So what happens if you happen to be responsible for the accident? First, notify your insurance company. They need to know so that they can start their process.

If the other party happens to sue you, you need to make sure that you have an experienced lawyer by your side. We will help you send a #HammerLetter which asks the insurance company to settle the claim.

Keep in mind, if you're injured in a crash that is your fault, you are still entitled to recovery for your injuries.

Can you sue even if the accident is your fault? There is a potential for recovery if there happens to be a product liability issue. For example, if a truck rolls and you're injured and find out there was a faulty part, you may be entitled to sue for that.

Should you admit fault in an accident? Human nature says to be apologetic but we recommend not to admit fault. You can answer police officer's questions and cooperate to the best of your ability, but do not concede fault until you speak with a #lawyer.

Ultimately you need an expert when you find yourself in an accident. The law is designed to pay for your immediate needs but what about beyond that? Call us today and we are happy to discuss the details of your case.
