When you get in a rear-end collision, fault depends on who acted negligently. Most people assume that the back driver is always responsible for a rear-end collision. That\u2019s not always true.<\/p>\n
Consider the following:<\/p>\n
Each rear-end collision is different. If you suffered harm in one of these crashes, our team can review your situation and identify the at-fault party.<\/p>\n
The U.S. General Services Administration<\/a> reports that human error is the most common cause of all motor vehicle accidents, including rear-end collisions. Contributors include:<\/p>\n Sometimes, defective vehicles cause rear-end accidents. For instance, defective brakes can prevent a vehicle from coming to a complete stop. Also, inclement weather conditions, like icy roads, can cause rear-end collisions.<\/p>\n When our team reviews your case, we\u2019ll examine:<\/p>\n Many intersections in Georgia and South Carolina have traffic cameras. If a camera captured your collision, we can watch the tapes and determine what happened. We may also utilize dashcam footage and recordings from nearby businesses.<\/p>\n After arriving at the accident scene, a police officer may determine fault. We can request a copy of the police report and review their findings.<\/p>\n Accident reconstruction specialists use a combination of computer simulations, physics, and 3D models to determine collisions\u2019 causes. We may consult with one of these experts to learn how your accident happened.<\/p>\n Distracted driving causes thousands of accidents each year. We may subpoena the other driver\u2019s phone records to establish negligence.<\/p>\n Many modern cars have \u201cblack boxes.\u201d These electronic devices measure:<\/p>\n We may consult with mechanics or automotive engineers to learn about what your car\u2019s black box recorded.<\/p>\n We can interview first responders, bystanders, and other passengers to learn more about your accident.<\/p>\n Both South Carolina and George operate on modified comparative negligence systems. These states measure fault on a scale of zero to 100. You can seek damages as long as you aren\u2019t the primary at-fault party. However, being even partially at fault can reduce your settlement\u2019s value.<\/p>\n Consider this scenario:<\/p>\n After a rear-end collision, you can seek compensation for your injury-related losses. You don\u2019t have to do this alone. Our lawyers can help.<\/p>\n We can pursue compensation by:<\/p>\n Both South Carolina and Georgia require motorists to carry auto insurance. Following your accident, you can file a claim with the at-fault party\u2019s insurer. Here, you can seek recovery for various expenses up to the liable party\u2019s policy limits.<\/p>\n Most of the time, we settle injury claims through lawsuits. However, if the insurance company won\u2019t settle, we\u2019ll take your case to trial. While this isn\u2019t easy, if successful, you can recover the full cost of your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t make any assumptions about your case.
