An accident is a specific, identifiable, unexpected, unusual and unintended external action which occurs in a particular time and place, without apparent or deliberate cause but with marked effects. It implies a generally negative probabilistic outcome which may have been avoided or prevented had circumstances leading up to the accident been recognized, and acted upon, prior to its occurrence. Experts in the field of injury prevention avoid use of the term 'accident' to describe events that cause injury in an attempt to highlight the predictable and preventable nature of most injuries. Such incidents are viewed from the perspective of epidemiology - predictable and preventable. Preferred words are more descriptive of the event itself, rather than of its unintended nature (e.g., collision, drowning, fall, etc.) Accidents of particularly common types (auto, fire, etc.) are investigated to identify how to avoid them in the future. This is sometimes called root cause analysis, but does not generally apply to accidents that cannot be deterministically predicted. A root cause of an uncommon and purely random accident may never be identified, and thus future similar accidents remain "accidental." From Wikipedia under the

Also, is it irrefutably the other guys fault, I mean can any of the blame be put on you? And are you looking for restitution for loss of income or just payment due to emotional stress or whatever it is called? And if you are also looking for restitution for loss of income, it all depends on what you normally earn.

How can I go about this? Can I access medical records or police reports? Asked by Clued_In - Sun May 6 22:45:23 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. You'd have to go to the police department for the accident records. You'd need the date of the accident. With any luck they still have it archived. You could go to the hospital. They might have it. But you're definitely in for a stretch. Try the newspaper archive. These things had a tendency to end up in the paper. Another ripe source, court records. Some courthouses never throw the court files out. There may be a party index somewhere. Answered by krollohare2 - Sun May 6 22:54:36 2007 What should i do in a no fault auto accident?

Tell your insurance claims adjuster your version of the facts. Depending on which lane the point of impact happened, you may have less fault than the other driver. Just because the other driver had a green light, they have the duty not to enter into an intersection until the intersection has been cleared and it is safe to enter the intersection. always try to get a witnesses information when ever you get in an accident if you have any. Otherwise it is word against word, BUT you will most likely have a portion of the blame for the person turning left usually does own most of the blame.
