According to The National Traffic Safety Administration, there are on average 840,000 blind spot accidents reported annually in the US. Of these 840,000 blind spot accidents, it’s determined that there are roughly 300 fatalities. Blindspot accidents are not limited to passenger vehicles as truck drivers and motorcyclists are also involved in this type of accident every year.Ā
If you have been involved in a blind spot accident, you might want to consider speaking with a Virginia auto accident attorney. Having an attorney from Hampton Injury Law PLC on your side can help you determine who is at fault.Ā
Should you want to learn more about who is liable for a blind spot accident, you have come to the right place. Our article will discuss liability in blind spot accidents and everything else you need to know.Ā
You need to be aware of a few common causes for blind spot accidents as a driver. To learn more about the various common causes of blind spot accidents, have a look below.Ā
Determining liability in a blind spot accident can be incredibly difficult. In most blind spot accidents, the driver who was attempting to merge or change lanes will be the liable party. This is because the fault will be assigned to the person who had a blind spot. This is because it is the driver’s responsibility to know what is happening in their blind spots.Ā
However, this is not always the case as it will also depend on who violated traffic laws. If you want to prove that you were not at fault for your blind spot accident, you will need to prove that you were hit in your blind spot because of the other driver’s negligence.Ā
Stating that you had a blind spot is not a suitable defense against car accident liability. Often victims in a blind spot car accident will argue that a reasonable driver should have known what was going on in their blind spots so that they could have prevented the accident. Additionally, an investigation will be undertaken to determine liability if the fault could lie with two drivers who were merging or changing lanes simultaneously.Ā
Often if you want to prove that the blind spot accident was not your fault to recover damages, you will need to prove negligence. Essentially you need to prove that the blind spot accident occurred because of the other driverās negligence. Besides needing to prove the four elements of negligence, you will need to provide the following:
If you have been involved in a blind spot accident, you need to consider speaking with a Virginia auto accident attorney. Since blind spot accidents can be difficult to navigate, the assistance of an attorney can help you prove liability and obtain compensation for your injuries.Ā
