Evidence That May Help Prove Fault in a Kentucky Accident

You may need to consult with a Louisville personal injury attorney if you were found to be partially at fault in a Kentucky accident. An attorney may be able to establish that the other driver was mostly at fault and in the collection of evidence that can prove liability. 

Here are some types of evidence that may help prove fault in a Kentucky accident: 

• police/accident report;
• statements from witnesses;
• testimony from accident reconstruction expert;
• state traffic laws; and
• automatic liability. 

Automatic liability applies to certain types of accidents, in which fault is almost always with a particular driver. For instance, if you were stopped at a red light on West Broadway and a car struck you from behind, the driver likely will be held liable automatically. 

Rear-end accidents aren’t the only type of accident that falls under automatic liability; so are accidents involving a left-hand turn. Usually the driver making the left turn is found to be at fault. Of course, even in these types of accidents there may be exceptions to liability.

You may need to contact a Louisville personal injury attorney if you were partially at fault in a Kentucky accident. Working with an attorney is the best way to help protect your claim. An attorney may also be able to fight to reduce your liability.
