Even a very skilled and attentive driver can get into a car accident. Anyone can be accused of causing an accident he or she was involved in. People who have been injured in a car crash often need to blame someone for a myriad of reasons. From a practical standpoint, the person suing you may not have good insurance and needs to find a way to pay his medical bills. Other people seem to believe they are perfect drivers and could only have gotten into an accident if the other person did something wrong. Some people simply cannot accept that the accident happened due to reasons beyond either party’s control. Just because you are being sued does not mean that you have to settle. An experienced DuPage County, IL car accident litigation attorney can help you fight back.
A Third Party Was at Fault
Say an SUV swerved out of its lane and bumped your rear tire, causing you to lose control and hit a car, injuring its driver. The SUV speeds off and disappears at the next exit. The car’s driver is suing you, claiming that you swerved because you were illegally texting. She did not see the SUV hit you. In this case, your lawyer can try to find evidence showing that the SUV did hit you and that you could not have prevented the collision.
