Determining Fault in Intersection Accidents
Accidents commonly occur at intersections. They are often the result of drivers failing to yield the right of way. In some cases, these accidents occur when a driver is trying to get through a light or making a quick turn in front of oncoming traffic. Some accidents are the result of drivers being distracted by their phones or something else, causing them to miss the approaching vehicles.
To determine fault in an accident like this, police must gather detailed information about who was involved, who had the right of way, and why the other person failed to stop. These details can be critical to proving who has the right to pursue financial compensation against the other party.
