When determining who is at fault for a T-bone accident, it will be necessary to determine which driver had the right of way.
In many situations, there are witnesses to the accident and—if you’re able—you should take pictures of the scene as well. The police will take a report, but it can’t always be relied upon to give accurate details.
The police officers’ job is to ensure that everyone is okay and then restore the flow of traffic. Eventually, they get around to taking witness statements and collecting information on the accident.
In some cases, both drivers may be held liable for the accident. If both drivers are in violation of traffic rules, then they each may be 50% to blame.
