A number of factors can make or break your case when you have collided with a parked stalled or disabled vehicle. What caused the driver to leave his or her vehicle in a dangerous position? Was the vehicle stuck or disabled or did the driver deliberately leave the vehicle could the accident have been avoided if the driver of the stopped vehicle had picked a safer location to stop? What type of warning signal, if any, did the driver turn on or place on the roadway? Did a curve, hill, bad weather or other visual impediment affect the view of approaching motorist? Were you speeding inattentive alcohol impaired or using defective or poorly adjusted equipment? Did you have a last chance to avoid the accident? Did any statutes or signs prohibit the other driver from stopping or parking where the accident occurred?
