Proving who is at fault in vehicle accidents such as collisions is not easy. In cases where the involved motorists could be at fault, determining liability may require more time, stronger evidence and an in-depth investigation of the accident.
When both motorists are at fault in an accident such as the rear-end collision that occurred in Victorville, the law on comparative liability may apply. Under this principle, the liability of parties involved may be computed based on the percentage of fault of each party. In other words, the party with the highest percentage of fault may be required to pay higher amount of damages.
According to the account, a Victorville man was riding a motorcycle when he hit the rear end of a van that was trying to drive out of a driveway. The motorcycle rider was thrown out of the motorcycle and ended up into the minivan’s back seat.
But despite this incident, the driver of the minivan did not stop and instead proceeded to get out of the driveway and drove on.
The driver returned only to the scene a few minutes later, after driving the about two blocks. The motorcycle rider miraculously suffered only a fractured thumb and minor bruises.
