If you want to recover compensation in a car accident claim, your attorney will have to prove another driver was at fault for the accident through his or her reckless, negligent actions.
It is usually easy to prove the other driver was at fault for certain types of accidents, including:
If you were involved in a different type of accident, it could be more difficult to prove the other driver was at fault.
In these situations, a police report can go a long way toward establishing fault. A police report will provide a description of the accident and may even say who was cited for failure to follow the rules of the road.
Police reports may also include statements from witnesses and the police officer’s impressions of the crash. These can be invaluable pieces of information in a car accident claim.
Your attorney can further bolster your claim by citing examples of ways the other driver violated traffic laws. That is why you need an experienced attorney who is familiar with traffic laws and knows how to research and apply them to your claim.
