In South Carolina and most other states, drivers who are entering a roadway—from a driveway, parking lot, or side street—have a legal duty to yield to oncoming traffic. When a driver fails to do so and pulls into the path of another vehicle, they are often considered at fault for the collision. However, determining fault is not always straightforward.
Insurance companies and opposing parties may argue that the driver with the right of way contributed to the accident. For example, they might claim that you were speeding, distracted, or otherwise unable to respond appropriately to avoid the crash. If those arguments are supported by evidence, fault may be shared.
