Drivers who cause accidents by violating traffic laws, such as running a red light or making an illegal turn, are liable for any resulting injuries or property damage. In situations like these where one driver is clearly at fault, liability is easy to determine and the lawsuit progresses quickly. But sometimes, liability isn’t so clear-cut.
For example, some multi-vehicle cases require an investigation to determine who was the first to cause the accident. A driver five cars behind yours may have crashed into someone who then crashed into the next person, and so on until they collided into your vehicle.
In the case of a malfunctioning stop light or dangerous road, another entity, such as the local department of transportation, may be liable for the accident.
Ultimately, the person whose actions or inactions caused the accident will be liable for damages. An experienced Macon T-bone car accident attorney will conduct an investigation and find out who is responsible for the crash that caused your injuries.
