How Do I Legally Prove Who is at Fault for an Auto Accident?

    MIAMI, FL, September 26, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A common question arising after auto accidents is, "How do I prove who was at fault?" The long and short of it is, you don't. Parties involved in an accident can spend forever pointing fingers, but without an experienced auto accident attorney on your side, proper liability may never be established, putting you at the mercy of greedy insurance companies who will, without fail, try to minimize your settlement.

What an Attorney can do
When you hire an attorney following an auto accident, he or she will conduct a thorough investigation, exhausting every conceivable scenario. In some cases, this is relatively simple. For example, it is possible that your accident was caused by another driver. Perhaps alcohol or driver distraction was involved.

However, proving fault can also be incredibly difficult, such as in cases where your accident was caused by a defective vehicle part, a dangerous roadway, or even an out of control animal. With so many factors to investigate, trying to prove fault on your own is almost always a futile pursuit.

With the help of an auto accident attorney, you don't need to prove fault. Your attorney will be able to establish liability, even in complex cases, and hold all responsible parties accountable. With this information, your attorney will be able to seek compensation for things including medical expenses, lost wages, and physical and emotional pain and suffering.

Trying to prove fault on your own may be impossible, but a good auto accident attorney will know exactly what to look for to make sure you get the full compensation you deserve.
