WHAT IF A FAMILY MEMBER IS AT-FAULT FOR THE CAR ACCIDENT?

<h1>When You Hit a Family Member’s Car: Understanding At-Fault Car Accidents</h1>

<p>Who hasn’t had that dreaded moment when they’ve <strong>hit a family member’s car</strong>? It raises a whole host of questions about insurance claims and liability. The first thing to recognize is that car accident insurance claims are not the same as filing a lawsuit. Even if a family member is at fault, the claim is against their insurance, not them personally. It’s the reason why we all pay for car insurance in the first place.</p>

<h2>Taking the Right Steps After the Accident</h2>

<p>As uncomfortable as the situation might be, the injured party still controls when and why to file a lawsuit or insurance claim. After hitting a family member’s car, it’s crucial to notify the insurance immediately and ensure the injured party receives medical attention.</p>

<h2>A Hard Lesson Learnt: A Case Study</h2>
