How Fault is Determined In an Accident
Sometimes it is easy to determine fault for an accident. When the officer arrives on the scene to write up the accident report after you have been hit by a delivery driver, he or she will investigate and determine fault for the crash. The location of the vehicles, the point of impact, the severity of the damage, the injuries, and statements from drivers all come into play.
If there are any witnesses, the officer will also interview them. Using all this information, fault is determined. If you can prove the at-fault driver was negligent, then you can have a successful personal injury claim.
Be sure to get the names and contact details for any witnesses, so you can contact them if you need them for additional details later or to support your personal injury claim. Keep a copy of the accident report to use when your demand letter is sent and when you file your claim for damages.
Consult With a Personal Injury Lawyer
If you have been hit by delivery driver, you should consult with a personal injury attorney in your state. An attorney will review your case details, investigate the accident, and determine the best way to proceed with your personal injury claim. With an attorney, your odds of a successful claim increase significantly.
