I was in a car accident that I know was somebody elses fault how can I prove it?

A:

If somebody was careless and caused the auto accident in which you were hurt, then you deserve to be compensated.  The legal term for fault is negligence, which basically means that somebody failed to act in a reasonably careful and responsible manner, which led to an accident that caused harm.

If you think that the other driver in your accident was negligent, then this can be shown in a number of different ways:
- Police report
- Eyewitness testimony
- Photos of the accident scene
- Expert testimony

Even when you are sure that the other person was at fault, it must still be proven in order for you to receive compensation for your injuries.  Having the right kind of evidence is key.  It is important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible after an auto accident to ensure that no time is wasted collecting evidence and protecting your rights.

It is especially important to hire a skilled board certified personal injury attorney if your accident case involved very serious injuries or a fatality.  These cases are often very difficult and insurance companies will fight to avoid paying a large sum.
