Determining Liability In An Intersection Accident
Auto accident liability can be difficult to determine as each case is unique. Most intersection accidents in Delaware are caused by human errors. Some of these include inattentive driving, drunk driving, erratic driving behaviors and other driver negligence. In these cases liability falls onto the driver who caused the accident. They will typically be responsible for injuries and property damage sustained by passengers in their vehicle as well as the drivers and passengers inside vehicle they struck. If the negligent driver struck a pedestrian or bicyclist they are usually responsible for their injuries as well. In these cases damages will ideally be covered by insurance.
Sometimes intersection accidents are not necessarily due to negligent driving practices. There can be other persons or parties liable in these cases. For instance, if an accident is caused due to improperly functioning traffic lights, or loose gravel and road debris in a construction zone, partial responsibility can lie with a municipality, utility company or construction company. A skilled and experienced Delaware Intersection Accident Lawyer will determine who, or what parties, are liable regarding your injuries.
