Parking Lot and Left Turn Accidents, Who is at fault?
Sometimes there's a question about who's at fault when an accident occurs in
the following two scenarios.
- Turning left at a traffic light.
- Parking lot accidents.
Left Turn Accidents
Example: Let's assume that you are patiently waiting for traffic to clear as
you are turning left at a traffic light.
The light begins to turn red and a driver in oncoming traffic has the same
idea, you turn left to avoid going through a red light but the other driver
goes right through a red light making impact with the rear quarter panel of
your vehicle causing an accident.
Who is at fault?
Regrettably you likely will be found at fault for the accident!
Unless there are highly unusual circumstances a person turning left causing an
accident is usually found to be at fault!
What about parking lot accidents?
Example: Let's assume that you are going grocery shopping and as you are
turning into the parking lot trying to find a space someone backs out and hits
your car.
Who is at fault?
The person pulling out!
Even if they were most of the way backed out and you hit them in the parking
lot they are at fault!
That's how it usually is supposed to work.
What if you are both backing out at the same time?
It's usually difficult to tell who is at fault in that instance and typically
what happens is that your insurance company will handle the damages for your
car, and the other insurance company will handle the damages to the other
parties car.
What is the bad news when that type of situation develops?
You will be charged with a at fault accident by your company!
