Car Accident Defendants

Charlotte NC Car Accident Lawyer

If you were injured in a car accident caused by someone else, your Charlotte auto accident lawyer must identify who or how many people were ultimately responsible.

Consider all possible defendants

Your Charlotte auto accident lawyer will consider all potential defendants as prospective sources of insurance coverage.

The following are some of the questions your Charlotte auto accident lawyer will take into account in order to ensure that all the possible defendants are considered in a car accident lawsuit:

  • Was the defendant driver working? If he or she was, the driver’s employer could be an appropriate defendant.
  • Did a private company operate traffic signals that malfunctioned? Not all traffic signals are managed by cities.
  • Did a contractor constructing a roadway violate any legal obligations in performing its work?
  • Did a nearby landowner block a motorist’s view in a manner that may have caused the collision?
  • Did anyone obscure the motorists’ views in any other fashion, such as double parking?
  • Were there any flaws in the vehicle involved? If true, then a manufacturer might be an appropriate defendant.
  • Was the defendant intoxicated at the time of the collision? If so, the individual or business that provided the alcohol may become a possible defendant.

If you were involved in a hit-and-run accident or if the defendant does not have adequate liability insurance coverage, your Charlotte auto accident attorney could consider a claim under your own uninsured motorist policy.
