Q: My daughter was going straight on a four lane road, a person made
a blind left turn going the other way and my daughter had to hit the brakes, the person behind her smashed into her. Who is at fault here?
A: It depends on very specific facts that are not provided here. Do you have a police report? Also, did your daughter sustain personal injuries as a result of the collision? In any event, I would recommend organizing all information relevant to this situation, and consulting with an attorney individually immediately.
A: It is possible that the person who made that "blind left turn" could be held liable for the damage and any injuries suffered.
