How Police Investigate Intersection Accidents
Determining the cause of an accident at an intersection can be challenging. Police will use evidence at the scene, including debris scattered throughout, as well as witness statements, to get a good idea of what happened. If there are still questions about fault, the police may use accident reconstruction services to determine fault. Getting it right is critical. Insurance companies will use this information to influence their decision on who to award compensation to after such an incident.
