Who’s Liable for Your Car Accident?
After a Palm Desert car crash, a big part of seeking compensation is proving another party’s liability. Someone may be liable for your accident if they did not take reasonable steps to prevent a crash, and in doing so (or not doing so), they caused a collision. For example, imagine you’re driving down I-10 when you hit a sudden slowdown. You drop your speed accordingly, but the driver behind you is texting and not paying attention. They notice and try to slow down, but not in time—and they rear-end you. Their failure to pay attention while driving could make them liable for your injuries and the related expenses.
In 94% of crashes, human error is a major contributing factor. If you’re involved in a collision, there’s a good chance that a driver made a mistake along the way. However, other liable parties may include vehicle manufacturers that produce unsafe vehicles or repair shops that do shoddy repair work. A thorough investigation is required to figure out what truly happened in a crash.
Important Forms of Evidence
Throughout the car accident claim process, you’ll need to refer to various forms of evidence. To you, it may be obvious what happened and who is at fault—but you should expect the other party to have a very different version of events. That’s why you need proof of what happened and who’s at fault. Some of the most common pieces of evidence that come into play in Palm Desert car accident claims include:
- Photos and videos of the crash scene, including photos from various angles and distances
- Photos of any injuries suffered in the crash
- Photos of damage to your vehicle
- Medical reports and bills
- Police report from the Palm Desert Sheriff’s Department
- Eyewitness statements
As you gather different forms of evidence, ensure that you make copies and backups—you never want to be in a position where you lose your only photos of a crash scene or have no proof of your medical treatment. Once you hire a Palm Desert car accident lawyer, you can give them copies of your evidence and they will also keep it safe and preserved for you.
Choosing the Right Legal Team
Having a strong legal advocate on your side is crucial if you want a fair shot at full compensation. Most car accident claims are settled between the two drivers’ insurance companies, and both insurance companies have a similar goal: saving themselves as much money as possible. If the other party is to blame, that means that their insurance company will likely dispute the severity of your injuries, try to place blame on you, or look for other medical issues they can blame for your injuries. It’s very hard to push back against these tactics, because insurance companies have spent a lot of money perfecting them.
When you choose Castillo & Montes Attorneys At Law, you benefit from our decades of experience with car, truck & motorcycle accidents and serious injury claims. We’ve gone head-to-head with every major insurance company, and we know what it takes to hold them accountable for their clients’ actions.
