It's an automatic human reaction to seek to blame someone for a misadventure of some sort which has resulted in harm, such as the circumstances leading to a car accident claim, but sometimes it can be difficult to know if an individual should be deemed liable for an injury to another.
On the roads, every driver has a duty to drive in a safe and reasonable manner, trying not to cause danger and inconvenience to other road users but this applies only to those in charge of motorised vehicles and not necessarily to pedestrians or cyclists who, although they are often victims of road accidents, can also be the cause of them.
Children and elderly pedestrians are the most likely groups who could cause injury to themselves by misjudging traffic or not seeing it and stepping out into the path of a vehicle.
Such a collision between two moving objects will almost certainly result in greater harm to the unprotected person than to the driver or passengers in the car, bus, taxi, lorry or other vehicle and when it comes to liability the courts will listen to all evidence before deciding on liability.
The same is true to a slightly lesser extent for cyclists and horse riders who share the roads with drivers but are far more vulnerable to suffering personal injury in the event of an accident.
Both groups of road users are obliged to take reasonable care of themselves and if a compensation case for injuries caused in a car crash, for example, is disputed then a judge may have to weigh up how much responsibility a victim may have had in the circumstances of their own misfortune.
Again, where a collision between two or more cars is concerned, should there be any doubt about liability, evidence will be gathered by police and solicitors for all parties involved so that a fair decision on a car accident claim can be resolved.
Where stationary objects are struck, such as parked vehicles, lampposts or walls, resulting in injury to a driver or passenger, in most cases, the driver will be responsible for the accident but other outside influences may be to blame, for example, a pothole or debris on the road leading to loss of control, and if a third party is at fault they may be judged liable for any compensation due to victims of a crash.
