How Do I Determine Fault in a Santee Car Accident?
The premise of fault in California law falls under four key elements. To prove that another person is responsible for the injuries you have and, therefore, must pay for your losses, you must demonstrate the following:
- They owed you a duty of care. Getting behind the wheel of a car is an establishment of that duty of care. They are agreeing to abide by the law and keep you safe.
- They breached that duty of care. That may be due to speeding, being intoxicated behind the wheel, or being distracted.
- The breach they created caused the accident to happen. There must be a direct link between the driver breaching their duty of care and causing your accident, such as speeding, which is the reason why the accident took place.
- The accident resulted in you suffering injuries. If you were hurt in the accident, this applies.
In many situations, we focus on uncovering the cause of the accident to determine fault. Some of the most common causes of accidents in our area include:
- Distracted driving
- Fatigued driving
- Impaired driving due to substance use
- Speeding and reckless control over a vehicle
- Road conditions and poor lighting
- Mechanical failures
- Inexperienced drivers
In situations where a person has violated the law and caused you injuries, you can count on our Santee car accident lawyers to guide you.
