At-Fault Driver

An at-fault driver is the person responsible for causing an accident or collision. This determination is often based on traffic laws and the circumstances of the incident. If a driver fails to follow these laws, such as running a red light or not yielding, they may be considered at fault. This determination can affect insurance claims, where the at-fault driver’s insurance typically covers damages to the other party. Understanding who is at fault is crucial for resolving liability and ensuring that the affected parties receive appropriate compensation for their losses.
