Determining who was at fault in an accident might be very straightforward, such as if the other driver was intoxicated. However, there are a number of other factors that can contribute to liability and that may not be as obvious. Some other potential indicators of fault include:
Driving while distracted, such as when texting
Falling asleep while driving
Failing to yield
Failing to stop at an intersection
Leaving road debris in the path of other drivers
Driving with an unsecured load.
