How is fault determined in a car accident?


In a car accident, one of the first things that we have to do as a personal injury law firm is establish fault. In New York, we have a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning fault can be aortioned between both the injured person and the responsible driver. And it’s really important to get investigators out to the scene right away or as soon as possible to talk to witnesses, to take or gather video surveillance footage from local businesses or from traffic cameras because it’s our job to make sure that our client is not blamed for the accident.
