Who is Responsible for an Alameda County Car Accident?
An Alameda County car accident attorney at the law firm of Estey Bomberger can help you investigate all sources of compensation. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident, there may be more than one party liable for a victim's injuries. For example, the driver who caused the accident may not actually own the vehicle the driver was operating. In cases where the owner of the vehicle was not the one driving at the time of the accident, the owner may still be held partly responsible. Auto manufacturers may also be named in a personal injury lawsuit for manufacturing a defective car part of designing an unsafe vehicle. In recent years, auto manufacturing defects have been recognized as a contributing factor in many car accidents. In a select number of cases, a government agency may be partially at-fault for a car accident. Government agencies are responsible for maintaining roads and can be held liable if a poorly kept road, faulty traffic signal or flawed road design contributed to a car accident occurring.
