In traffic accidents the law holds the responsible party liable and compensates the victim. In this connection liability can be based on negligence, recklessness or founded on the principles of product liability.
The careless driver based on traffic laws is considered to be at fault. In case of traffic violation there is a strong presumption that the traffic violator was at fault. However, in the absence of any major traffic violations the guilty can be identified from the accounts of the eyewitnesses and drivers.
If any car is hit from behind, the other driver is at fault since the traffic rules require that drivers must keep safe distance from the automobile in front to stop in time to avoid collision.
Further, cars taking a left turn are usually liable to those coming straight in the other direction unless the car-traveling straight was going too fast.
