BSPE Legal Marketing Podcast

From Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George P.C. - In this episode, we discuss the key points from the article Why Fault for a Crash Is Not Always Clear-Cut, exploring the complexities of determining fault in car accidents across Western Pennsylvania. Fault is not always straightforward, as various factors such as road conditions, mechanical issues, and even intersection design can play a role. Understanding these elements and how they influence liability is crucial for those involved in collisions.
We examine the role of insurance adjusters in determining fault, including how they analyze police reports, witness statements, and visual evidence like photos and videos. These pieces of evidence help reconstruct the accident and uncover potential contributing factors. Additionally, we discuss how fault can sometimes extend beyond the drivers involved, implicating transportation officials or agencies responsible for road design or maintenance.
The episode also highlights common issues victims face in the insurance claims process, such as disputes over fault and low settlement offers. Pennsylvania’s fault laws and the specific details of an accident heavily influence legal outcomes and compensation. For those dealing with such challenges, seeking guidance from a Western Pennsylvania car accident attorney can help protect your rights and strengthen your case.
