Who’s at fault means, “Who caused the wreck” under the NC accident laws. Liability for accident injuries in North Carolina is related to negligence and the duty of care.

Determining who is legally liable for accident injuries in North Carolina requires careful review of the documentation of the wreck scene and causes of the NC accident case.
What happens if I was in a car wreck and driving a company car?
If you or someone you love was hurt as a result of a car wreck, it wasn’t an accident. Someone did something wrong. They didn’t follow a law or a rule of the road. They failed to pay attention or keep a proper lookout or observe the speed limit or provide sufficient distance to stop. They didn’t follow the rules.
They made a choice. They made a decision and as a result, someone was hurt or killed.
It doesn’t necessarily mean they are a bad person; but, to call something an “accident,” when it really was a bad decision or choice, isn’t really all that accurate, is it?
