Fault

“Fault is the legal responsibility for causing an accident or injury, often established through negligence or violation of law.”

Determining fault is essential for deciding who pays damages. In some cases, fault may be shared between parties.

States follow different systems such as comparative or contributory negligence, which affect claim outcomes.

To evaluate fault in your case, get a legal opinion.
