How Comparative Negligence Works After an Intersection Crash in Anderson, SC

Intersection crashes usually come down to a dispute over who had the right-of-way, especially when both drivers believe the other was at fault. South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule, in which a driver can still recover damages as long as they're found less than 51% at fault for the crash, with their compensation reduced by their own percentage of responsibility. 

In intersection collisions, this commonly makes the difference between drivers' accounts of the crash, along with any traffic signal timing or witness statements, especially important to establishing how fault should be divided.

Because both drivers may point fingers at each other after a crash like this, having clear documentation such as police reports, witness accounts, or nearby surveillance footage can significantly affect how a claim is resolved. A car accident lawyer can help gather and organize this kind of evidence early, before memories fade or details become harder to confirm.
