It is not always easy to prove another driver was at fault for an accident. Even if you explain to your insurance company that the other driver was careless, there is no guarantee your insurer will believe you and pay for your claim.
That is why you need to collect a lot of evidence to build a strong claim, especially the police report as it details what the officer saw at the scene of the accident and his or her observations about who was at fault. This can be one of the most valuable pieces of evidence for your insurance company.
You should also review traffic laws to find any that apply to your particular accident. These laws can help you determine who was at fault for the accident.
If you plan on filing a legal claim, you should enlist help from a South Bend auto accident lawyer.
