Determining Liability in a Car Accident Lawsuit
Proving liability is a complex yet vital part of any injury claim. Working with a qualified attorney is critical to identifying liable parties and successfully recovering compensation. Some potentially liable parties in car accident lawsuits include:
- The other motorist. The at-fault driver is often the primary liable party in car accident claims. We can help you gather evidence to prove the other motorist acted negligently, resulting in the accident.
- The vehicle manufacturer. If the car accident occurred due to a faulty part or defective machinery, the vehicle manufacturer may be liable for damages.
- Third-party employers. If the at-fault party was an active employee, such as a commercial truck operator or Uber driver, their employer may be partially or fully liable for the accident.
- Government entities. If the crash was caused by inadequate signage or other poor road conditions, the government entity responsible for maintaining them may be liable.
