Driver Negligence
Most car accident claims are caused by negligence on the part of an involved driver, and this negligence can take all the following very dangerous forms:
- Impairment
- Distraction
- Exhaustion
- Failure to follow the safety rules of the road, such as failing to yield the right-of-way as required or failure to obey traffic lights, signs, or signals
- Speeding, which includes driving too fast in response to the road’s condition or the dangerous effects of bad weather
- Aggression
Proving the Other Driver’s Negligence
Proving that the other driver caused the accident that left you injured will come down to evidence like the following, which speaks to their responsibility:
- Eyewitness testimony
- Your own account of how the accident happened
- Photos and footage captured by people at the scene or by dashcams, security cameras, or traffic cameras in the vicinity
- Physical evidence, such as the positions in which the vehicles landed, skid marks on the road, paint transfer from vehicle to vehicle, and beyond
- Professional accident reconstruction models that depict the mechanics of the accident
- The testimony of professionals with expertise in accident-related fields
- The police report, including any tickets that were issued, such as for drunk driving
You can trust your focused car accident lawyer to take the steps necessary to clearly demonstrate the other driver’s negligence in your claim.
