Determining Fault in a No Contact Accident

Mon, 02 Sep 2019 01:55:39 +0000

Most of the time, when people think of motor vehicle accidents, they think of dramatic, head-on car crashes, or at least the idea of one or more vehicles colliding into one another. While this is the most commonly recognized type of accident, vehicle-to-vehicle contact or vehicle-to-pedestrian contact is not always necessary to cause an accident.

In some car crashes, your car may not even ever touch another car. However, if you had to swerve to avoid hitting a car or pedestrian, causing you to lose control of your vehicle, you may be able to recover compensation for the damages you and your property sustained if the damage was caused by the negligence of another party. Though this is possible, it can oftentimes be difficult to prove fault, especially if you do not have any witnesses to testify as to the events leading up to the accident.
