Question about fault—see below:
Hi everyone, I came across this post on r/legal:

From an insurance perspective, does it align with what the top comment states?
Or is the legal dispute separate from how fault is determined?
From an insurance perspective, the determination of fault can differ from any legal outcomes. Insurance companies typically assess fault based on their own investigation, which may include police reports, statements from drivers and witnesses, and other evidence. This determination is often aimed at guiding the insurance claims process and may not always align with what happens in a court of law.
In a legal fight, a court may ultimately determine liability based on the evidence presented, which can be influenced by different legal standards or arguments that weren’t addressed during the insurance assessment. Thus, while the two processes are related, they can yield different conclusions regarding fault. If you’re dealing with a specific situation, it may be wise to consult with a legal professional who can provide tailored advice based on the details involved.
