Who is at fault during a lane change accident?
Determining fault in a lane change accident typically depends on various factors, including traffic laws, driver behavior, and the specific circumstances of the incident. Generally, the driver changing lanes must ensure it is safe to do so, signaling their intent and checking for other vehicles. If they fail to do this and cause a collision, they may be deemed at fault. However, if the other driver was speeding or otherwise negligent, they could share liability. Ultimately, fault is often assessed based on evidence gathered from the scene, witness statements, and police reports.
