What Makes Davenport Rental Car Accidents Complex?
Iowa is an at-fault state when it comes to car accidents. This means that the party or parties responsible for the accident are also liable for damages. Furthermore, Iowa uses comparative negligence, which means responsibility can be divided among the parties. For example, multiple parties may be responsible for the damages if you are in a multi-car accident. Using a rental car introduces even more parties, which can mean even more complexity.
It all comes down to one simple question that can be very difficult to answer: who is paying for my car accident? In addition to the insurance companies of the drivers involved in the accident, this can include other parties, such as:
- The rental car company you used
- The insurance company used by the rental car company (in the case of supplemental insurance)
- Your travel insurance company (if you’ve purchased travel insurance)
- Your credit card company (if your credit card offers travel insurance benefits)
Proving fault in a car accident can be difficult under normal circumstances. However, when additional parties are involved, the situation can become overwhelming.
