What Makes A Car Accident Case Complex

By The Perazzo Law Firm

Another factor lending to the complexity of a personal injury case can be the difficulty in assigning the fault for the injuries suffered by the victim. In certain cases, the cause of a car accident may not be just the careless of a driver. A car accident can be caused by a malfunctioning car part, unsafe road conditions due to negligent construction, improperly prescribed medicine which leads to driver fatigue, etc. In cases where a car accident was caused by a vehicle malfunction, fault can be attributed to the manufacturer of the vehicle or the specific part which contributed to the cause of the accident. In certain cases, if a car accident was caused by your vehicle being negligently services, then some fault may be assigned to the mechanic. However, in certain jurisdiction a legal concept known as a non-delegable duty governs. A non-delegable duty is a situation where, for example, a car accident was caused by improperly serviced brakes however the fault still rests on the owner of the vehicle.
Following a car accident it is important to consult a competent attorney with personal injury experience to know the full extent of your rights.
