How Is Fault Determined After a Two-Vehicle Crash in Myrtle Beach, SC?

Fault after a two-vehicle crash is determined by examining how the collision occurred, each driver’s conduct before the crash, and the information that supports each account. Investigators and insurers use that record to decide whether either driver was responsible.

When accounts conflict, resolving a claim can take time. Insurers may consider information beyond the crash report before taking a position, and that review can continue while your treatment needs develop.

Under South Carolina’s modified comparative-fault rule, you may recover compensation if your share of fault is not greater than the other parties’ fault. Any percentage assigned to you reduces the compensation available. This rule applies when the evidence supports shared responsibility.

Because insurance coverage differs, a policy may not fully cover every loss caused by the crash. The identity of the vehicle owner and the driver’s purpose at the time can also affect which coverage applies to your claim.

If an insurer contacts you soon after the crash, it may seek information before the full extent of your losses is known. Medical care, missed work, and vehicle repairs can continue after the claim is opened.

After the collision, the crash report, photographs, vehicle damage, available video, medical records, and repair records may help show what happened. They may also connect your financial losses to the crash and become harder to obtain as time passes.

During the claims process, a car accident attorney can handle communications with insurers, investigate disputed fault, and pursue compensation for your losses. A lawyer can also explain the legal choices available as your case develops.
