As with other types of accidents, determining who is at fault in a traffic accident really comes down to one thing: who was negligent? An experienced accident attorney will look to police reports, state traffic laws, and witnesses, to help determine who exactly was at fault. Currently, courts look to a number of factors in determining whether an automobile driver was negligent, including:

  • Disobeying traffic signals or signs
  • Not signaling while turning
  • Driving on the wrong side of the road
  • Driving below or above the posted speed limit
  • Disregarding traffic or weather conditions
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
