Police Reports<\/b><\/p>\n The first place to look to determine who was at fault is in the police report. Typically, if an accident is severe enough that someone is injured, the police will have been called to the scene. As with any incident, the police will file a report which becomes a public record. If you have the contact info for the officer who was at the scene, he or she can let you know how to get a copy of the report. Otherwise, you can usually get it by asking at your local police office.<\/span><\/p>\n If the officer on the scene felt that one driver was at fault, this will be mentioned in the police report. You need to be able to directly demonstrate that the other\u2019s negligence caused the accident, so if the report does not state that directly, you will need more evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n Traffic Laws<\/b><\/p>\n Next, you\u2019ll need to consult the Louisiana traffic code. A simplified version called \u201cRules of the Road\u201d is available at most locations of the Department of Motor Vehicles. Search for listings that may apply to your accident and try to determine the specific law that the other driver would have broken to cause your injury.<\/span><\/p>\n Who can help?<\/b><\/p>\n Does this all sound too overwhelming?
