Determining liability in a car accident case is crucial for securing compensation. Several parties may be responsible for the crash, including:
✔ Negligent Drivers – Those who fail to follow traffic laws, drive under the influence, or cause crashes due to reckless driving.
✔ Employers of Commercial Drivers – If a commercial driver caused an accident while on duty, their employer may be liable.
✔ Government Entities – Poorly maintained roads, missing traffic signs, or faulty traffic lights can contribute to accidents.
✔ Auto Manufacturers – Defective vehicle parts, such as faulty brakes or airbags, can cause serious crashes.
