Liability In An Accident
Question
Answer
As far as a car accident is concerned, the ruling will be according to the incident. Whichever driver is negligent in that particular accident will be considered responsible for paying for any damages caused, whether it be damage to the the opposite party’s vehicle or injuries to that person due to one’s negligence.
