Written by Malman Law, reviewed by Steve J. Malman.
Some motor vehicle accidents involve just one vehicle. For example, a vehicle may collide with a fixed object or run off the road after diverting an object in the middle of the highway. In single vehicle accidents, insurance often puts the blame on the driver of that vehicle, holding him or her liable for injuries and damages.
While a large majority of single vehicle accidents are the victims’ fault, there are instances where they may not be. If you are the victim of a single vehicle accident that was not your fault, it is imperative that you contact an accident attorney. An attorney can help represent your case against insurance companies, who will work hard to shift the blame solely to you.
There are multiple causes of single vehicle accidents, and some may not be the drivers’ fault. Some examples where the driver may not be at fault include:
To avoid costly insurance premium hikes and paying for lost wages and medical bills yourself, you must hold the other party accountable for causing your incident. These types of accidents are especially complex and there is not always ample evidence. With the assistance of an accident attorney, you may be able to gather the evidence you need to prove that you were not at fault for the incident.
A way in which you can assist yourself and your attorney is by taking photographs of the accident scene. Also, gathering witness information to contact them later could help you gather much needed evidence.
If you were injured in a single vehicle accident that was not your fault, contact the accident team at Malman Law.
