It’s not always obvious who is at fault in a collision. Lots of factors can come into play, so RACV Insurance will rely on evidence and the road rules to determine who is liable.Evidence can include:accounts from involved drivers and witnessesphotos of the damage and the locationdashcam footage of the eventphysical proof of damage to the vehicle police reports.Types of faultCompletely at-fault Sometimes, you’ll know right away that you or the other driver were responsible. A common example is accidentally hitting the back of another vehicle because a safe distance wasn’t maintained.Partially at-fault There will also be occasions where both drivers share a level of responsibility for an incident. For example, when two cars reverse from opposite car parks at the same time and hit one another. In these cases, a percentage of fault will be determined by the insurer by analysing all the evidence available.
