If you cause an accident that results in injuries, it’s natural to assume no one else will cover the damages. In a lot of accident scenarios, however, more than one party is at fault. Should this be the case in your situation, you might still be able to recover some portion of the damages incurred. Here, the personal injury team at Best & Westover Law in Kalispell, MT, explains how.  

Proving Partial Liability 

Since liability is not always clear at the scene of an accident, it’s essential to document everything, even if you think you were at fault. Other parties might have also played a role in the incident, and when such information comes to light, you will want photographs of the scene and eyewitness testimony to prove your case. Additional kinds of evidence that can help prove each party’s liability include surveillance footage, dash cam recordings, official police reports, the results of any chemical tests, and statements from accident reconstruction experts. 

If you were injured in an accident for which you were partially liable, you might still be able to recover some compensation for the damages incurred.
