Proving Liability

When you are involved in a Connecticut car accident, it is natural to feel overwhelmed by the next steps to take. An accident can be traumatic and can leave you or your loved ones injured. On top of that, your vehicle may be damaged, and you might worry about your transportation methods while your vehicle is being repaired. How will you get to work? How will you run your errands? How will you get your kids to school?

There are so many factors to consider, and you may feel frustrated or hurt as you try to navigate the process. Unfortunately, the process of being compensated for injuries and damages is not always straightforward. If someone else is at-fault for the accident, they may be contrite. However, they may refuse to accept blame and may be difficult to work with as you try to recover money for damages that they caused.

If you find yourself in this situation, you need to protect yourself and prove that the other driver was liable for the accident. This will also prove that they are responsible for compensating for your damages in this process.

But how can you prove liability? It can be difficult to focus on such things when you are dealing with steep fees related to the accident, injuries, and the emotional damage that comes from the trauma of an accident. In this section, we give some tips to ensure that you put yourself in the best position to prove your case and get the compensation that you deserve.

Protect Yourself With Evidence

One of the best things that you can do if you were involved in a car accident is gather evidence to prove that the other driver was responsible for the crash. We have a page that goes into greater detail regarding how you can prove damages to your property and how you can prove damages to your person in this section.

It is best to gather evidence as soon as possible, since you won’t have access to some forms of evidence after you leave the scene of the crash. For example, try to take pictures documenting the position of the vehicles after the crash. Also make sure that you see a doctor as soon as possible. You need to prove that any injuries that you sustained were due to the accident and not some other incident.

Another way that you can establish evidence to build your case and prove liability is by contacting the police and making sure that an official accident report is created for your accident. Without an accident report, it is your word against the other driver’s word. However, with an accident report, you have a legitimate document that supports the claims that you are making. An accident report is a great tool to use if you need to prove liability to an insurance company, a lawyer, or a judge.
