One of the most important parts of a car accident case is determining how much fault each party bears, as this allows the insurance company or the courts to decide how much money the victim is entitled to. To determine fault, evidence will be examined. The most common types of evidence that will be used to try to prove fault include the following:
Medical records showing injuries sustained by each party
Testimony from eyewitnesses
Video footage and photographs
Police reports
Weather and traffic patterns
Cause of the accident
The egregiousness of the responsible party’s behavior
