Establishing Liability in a Car Accident
Decades of Experience Fighting for You
If you have recently been involved in a car accident, it is in your best interests to speak with an attorney as soon as you are able. Every 10 seconds someone in the United States is involved in a car accident. Any driver is expected to operate using "reasonable care under the circumstances."
In the case of an accident, a person who operates a vehicle recklessly with negligent conduct can be held liable for the damages to another party (or parties) who were injured.
This includes:
- Driving while texting
- Drunk driving
- Aggressive driving
- Speeding
- Or other negligent conduct

The plaintiff party is required by law to prove that the defendant is liable for his or her injuries and that the defendant acted with neglect or was the proximate cause of the accident. Determining who is at fault for the accident is the critical issue in any personal injury claim.
In order to recover compensation for your injuries liability must be established and proven. In some cases, if disputed, it will require the assistance of an independent accident investigator.
You may be able to receive compensation for the following:
- Loss of wages
- Future loss of wages
- And emotional and physical suffering
How Is Liability Determined in a Car Accident?
Some of the factors the court considers when determining liability in the case include the following:
- Driving under the influence of alcohol
- Not paying attention to traffic or weather conditions
- Failing to signal
- Disobeying traffic laws
- Driving above the speed limit
