Car Accident Liability

Liability for a car accident can vary depending on the circumstances and laws of the jurisdiction according to individual states. In general, the driver who caused the accident is considered liable for any damages or injuries as a result. This may include:

  • Paying for victim’s car repairs;
  • Paying for victim’s medical expenses.

 

Despite this, there are other parties which may be held accountable including a vehicle’s manufacturer (product defect) or even government bodies (poor road conditions). That is why it’s important to have a team of experienced Rockford car accident lawyers ready to help you.
