Vehicle damage can provide clues about how the accident occurred, but it doesn’t always tell the whole story. For example:
- Rear-end collisions often suggest the rear driver is at fault.
- Side-impact crashes might show who failed to yield or ran a red light.
- Front-end damage on both cars could point to a head-on collision.
Still, physical damage is only one piece of the puzzle. Other factors, such as weather conditions, skid marks, and the location of the accident, help determine fault more clearly.
