Commentary:
You may read this article and assume that everything is figured out, but I’ve never seen an accident where the fact pattern reflects 100% fault for any of those involved. This is why I advocate second guessing and checking up on police reports that these articles are based off of. In the majority of cases I handle, most of the accident reports are found to be incomplete or altogether incorrect. Adding to the pile of evidence with independent investigators can do quite a bit to sway liability in favor of the real victims.
