Determining Fault by Location of Damage in a Car Accident
You can use the damage to your vehicle in a car accident to help determine who is at fault. With most accidents, it's the car insurance company that will take the lead in determining who was responsible for causing the crash.
In many cases, it'll be a claims adjuster who conducts the investigation. This investigation may consist of interviewing the drivers and passengers from the accident, as well as any witnesses who saw what happened. The claims adjuster may also look at photographs, car repair estimates, a police report, and video surveillance footage.
