How do you determine who is at fault in a center line case?


Dec 7th, 2011

Frequently there are motor vehicle accidents where both drivers claim that the other crossed the center line and there are no eye witnesses to resolve the issue. So the most obvious problem in this case is to try and determine, from an objective method, which car crossed the center line. One of the factors considered is the location of the accident debris. Normally, there will be a collection of most of the debris at the point of impact. A second factor is the damage to the roadway. In a significant crash, often at the point of impact is identified by damage to the roadway from the vehicles. The metal from the vehicles is driven downward due to the force of the impact and this creates a gauge mark in the pavement. A third factor is the location of vehicle fluids.

In a disputed center line case it is imperative that pictures are taken immediately after the accident to confirm the location of the debris and to determine if the roadway has been damaged. Take pictures with your cell phone if possible and contact the Kentucky Auto Accident Attorney immediately to conduct an investigation.If you need help with a case, you may contact the Kentucky Auto Accident Attorney law office by clicking here or calling 502-241-8000/859-367-0036.
