ASSERTIVE Spring Car Accident Lawyer

After a car accident, it can be challenging to identify an at-fault party. Those involved may remember the event differently, causing unclear details and misinformation. For this reason, we suggest taking as many photos and videos of the scene and your injuries as possible so you can capture everything undisturbed and have proof of your injuries. You can also take photos of any information exchanged, the other party’s information, and witness contact information. 

With this evidence and the information we may help you gather, we can identify a liable party, which may include the following:

• Another driver: Another driver may be liable for the accident if they failed to follow traffic laws, drove under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or drove recklessly.
• An employer: If someone was driving for work, their employer might be responsible. Perhaps the employer did not train their employees properly, poorly maintained their vehicles, or overworked their staff.
• A pedestrian or bicyclist: Pedestrians or bicyclists could be liable for an accident if they did not follow traffic signals and laws, rode or walked in the middle of the road, or behaved recklessly.
• A property owner or government agency: If a pothole, debris in the road, or other poor road conditions caused the accident, the property owner or government agency that owns the road might be responsible.

After helping you identify the at-fault party, we may also help you fulfill the burden of proof. As the plaintiff, you are responsible for proving the following points:

• The liable party owed you a duty to drive carefully and safely
• They neglected this duty of care
• Their negligence directly caused your injuries
• Your injuries resulted in damages

With the evidence you gather at the scene and the information we can attain, like medical records, police reports, and video footage, you have increased chances of achieving the compensation you deserve.
