Commentary
Id be very interested in taking a look at the scene of the accident, simply for the fact that I’m curious to see what the turn looked like. Additionally, I would like to know if the driver of the car had the right-of-way at the time of the accident. If they did not, it may come down to comparative fault or contributory negligence. These are systems that determine fault using a judge, or jury, and all the evidence involved. Either way, I’d say this accident deserves a second look.
