Bogin, Munns & Munns Will Strive to Make Those Responsible Pay For Your Loss
The first step in our investigation will be identifying liable parties in your case. All it takes is one careless act to cause a collision, but that does not always mean there is only one responsible party. Many individuals can be responsible for your loved one’s motor vehicle accident, including:
Motorists
In your situation, the typical initial prospect. In most cases, the motorist who hit your automobile will bear some or all of the blame. However, they are not necessarily solely responsible for the disaster. In some cases, they may not be responsible at all.
Cyclists/Pedestrians
The same laws could apply to a cyclist or pedestrian. Each has its own set of regulations to follow, and improper conduct or reckless driving from either party can have the same dire consequences.
Car Manufacturer
Some things are out of a driver’s control. If a driver’s brake gives out suddenly or their tire flattens, there is little they can do to avoid tragedy. These malfunctions fall upon the manufacturer and they are liable to pay punitive damages for these defects.
However, it must be proven that the driver had no prior knowledge of the defect and/or had no way to prevent or avoid the malfunction. Otherwise, they could share responsibility.
City/Government
This occurs in the instance of damaged roads, damaged or missing traffic equipment, or other city-owned property. These types of scenarios are more uncommon, and initiating an accident lawsuit against the government comes with its own set of statutes and procedures, all of which we are well versed in.
We will pursue your case regardless of who is held accountable, large or small.
