About Auto Accidents
By definition, an auto accident is a type of motor vehicle accident that involves automobiles, including virtually any standard passenger vehicle, such as a sedan, coupe, or four-door vehicle. The most common cause of auto accidents is driver negligence or error, such as: driving while distracted, talking on the phone, texting and driving, drunk driving, speeding, or simply driving carelessly. Additional causes may include poor road conditions or extreme weather, and an auto accident may also be caused by a defective auto part.
Liability in Los Angeles Auto Accident Cases
In any of these cases, the victim and/or his or her family may take legal action against whatever person or party was responsible for causing the accident. In some cases, this may be more than one person. Liability may also be shared. For example, one driver may have acted slightly negligently (perhaps was distracted) and was therefore 30% at fault in causing the accident. Another driver may have been driving drunk and was 70% responsible for the accident. In this case, the driver with the higher percentage or likelihood of fault would be held accountable. However, he or she would only pay 70% of damages to the victim, if the victim was 30% at fault him or herself.
