Some Techniques for Proving Fault in a Car Accident Case

Lawyers, in North Carolina and Virginia, often use test results or reports to help prove that a driver or manufacturer was responsible for a car accident. Some of these tests and techniques that lawyers use (through expert testimony) are:

• Toxicology Reports. These tests can help prove that a driver was driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs when the accident occurred.
• Digital Recording System. A Digital recording system can be introduced to show exactly how fast a car was going.
• Radar results. If a police officer used radar to determine the speed of the vehicle, the radar results can help show that the defendant was driving too fast.
• Police Report. The police report itself can serve as a starting point for proving how the accident happened. If necessary, a skilled car accident lawyer will have the police officer testify in court.
• The damage to the vehicles. Often location and extent of the damages to the vehicles can help to prove fault. Rear-end collisions are usually shown by showing the damage to one car was in the rear and the damage to the other car was in the front.
