Abstract:
In systems and methods for facilitating fault determination, accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver may be collected. The accident data may include vehicle telematics and/or other data, and/or the driver may be associated with an insurance policy. The accident data may analyzed and, based upon the analysis of the accident data, fault (or lack thereof) of the driver, other drivers, road or weather conditions, construction, or other external factors or environment conditions for the vehicle accident may be determined. The determined fault may be used to handle an insurance claim associated with the vehicle accident, and to adjust, generate or update one or more insurance-related items, including (i) parameters of the insurance policy; (ii) a premium; (iii) a rate; (iv) a discount; or (v) a reward. As such, drivers not at a fault for an accident may realize insurance-cost savings and/or may not be unfairly penalized.
