Commentary
Fortunately, multiple agencies were called to respond to this accident and it seems the injured people received relatively quick medical treatment. Regarding the facts, the interviews of witnesses and photos of the scene, measurements are all important to determine which vehicle crossed the centerline. When possible witnesses are also the injured victims, there can be a delay in obtaining these statements – however, they are very important. Regardless of preliminary reports of fault, further interviews of the occupants and any third party witnesses can determine who is responsible for this wreck. There could also be issues of multiple claimants all trying to recover from one insurance policy so investigation of secondary and supplemental policies must be done. The process can be complicated and the assistance of a lawyer experienced in this type of incident can greatly help your case.
