To recover full compensation for your injuries and other losses stemming from your accident, you have to prove the motorist was at least partially at fault for causing your accident. There are many ways the driver of the vehicle may be at fault for the collision, including:
Assigning fault in an accident claim can be tricky, especially when you do not have training or experience in gathering evidence and knowing what information will support your claim best. Additionally, you may need to present the information to the insurance company and negotiate a full and fair settlement, which is not always straightforward.
