Commentary:
This is a type of accident that I would be willing to bet will come down to comparative fault to some degree. Comparative fault, or contributory negligence is a system that was devised in order to take the he-said-she-said complexities out of an accident investigation. In this system, which is used by the majority of states, a judge or jury is given all the evidence and presented with all the arguments. The judge or jury then does its best to determine the fault of the people involved by assigning responsibility in a percentage value over the total cost of the accident.
