Determining Fault in a Two-Vehicle Accident
One of the most important parts of accident investigations happens at the scene of the incident. Law enforcement must document and gather information from both vehicles and the scene itself to determine fault. Witness statements and, in some cases, dash cam video can also shed light on what took place.
Law enforcement often makes a decision on who is at fault based on evidence at the scene. Sometimes they do not have all of the details, or they make the wrong call. In those cases, victims often find themselves overwhelmed with what to do or what their legal options are.
