How Is Fault Determined in an Intersection Accident?
It is common for the drivers involved in intersection accidents to dispute liability and argue about who is at fault.
To determine fault and legal responsibility for the accident, evidence may be necessary, such as:
- Accident reports that indicate how the accident may have happened
- Footage from traffic lights that shows which color the lights were at the time of the accident
- Witness statements regarding each driver’s actions leading up to the crash
- The location and severity of damage indicate where the vehicles collided
- Medical reports that may be consistent with one of the drivers’ versions of events
- Video footage from dash cams and data from the vehicle’s event data recorder
An experienced lawyer can help gather the evidence necessary to prove your claim.
