El Paso Auto Accidents - Call Us Today

An accident where your car has been rear ended is almost never your fault. Damage from the vehicles clearly shows your car was hit in the rear by the other vehicle whose front end is damaged. While the at-fault party may have a claim from another vehicle that may have caused you to stop suddenly or another vehicle that may have hit the at fault party’s vehicle pushing it into yours they are still responsible for the damages to your vehicle. If you have been in an accident similar to one of these situations contact experienced El Paso automobile accident injury attorneys right away. El Paso automobile accident injury attorneys understand the traffic laws and can help determine who is at fault and to what extent they are at fault in your accident.

Many factors are considered when determining fault in a motor vehicle accident. These factors include, but are not limited to:

• disobeying traffic signs or signals;
• failing to signal while turning;
• driving above or below the posted speed limit;
• disregarding weather or traffic conditions;
• failing to drive on the right side of the road; and
• driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Experienced El Paso car accident injury lawyers will look to police reports, witnesses, and state traffic laws to better determine fault in the accident. Causes of motor vehicle accidents can help determine fault. Aggressive driving or “road rage” is alarmingly becoming more frequent.
