- Determining who is responsible for a Car Accident
November 14, 2016
Determining who is responsible for a car accident may not be as simple as it seems. While it is necessary to discover who is at fault, your word is often not enough to convince insurance companies to provide the necessary amount of coverage for your claim.
When dealing with insurance companies, you should include every piece of evidence that supports your claim and proves that the other driver was at fault for causing the accident. Two of them most crucial pieces of evidence, police reports and traffic laws, will provide vital support to your defense.
Police Reports
Reports filed by police will contain details that are necessary when insurance investigators re-create the events that led to the accident. The observations and actions made by the police officer who arrived on the scene will be crucial evidence used in an insurance company’s decision to providing coverage. When filing an insurance claim after a car accident, it is imperative to have a copy of the police report with you to submit.
Traffic Laws
It is also important to review your state’s traffic laws and determine which apply to your accident. By proving the other party broke a traffic law to cause the accident is a powerful piece of evidence that can be used in your defense.
How an Attorney Can Help
After being in a car accident, it is important to hire an experienced attorney who can assist you in handling insurance companies and providing you with vital legal representation.

I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.
