Abstract
In some embodiments, information for determining fault may be entered into a computer system for determining fault in a vehicle accident. In some embodiments, a screen or multiple screens may be used to prompt a user for information. A display of certain aspects of the accident (e.g., vehicle representations, roadway configurations, and accident types) may also be used to graphically input information to help determine fault. In some embodiments, vehicle orientation and position may be entered along with information about the roadway configuration and conditions at the time of the accident. In some embodiments, graphical vehicles may be moved and rotated on a display and impact points may be entered for each vehicle. In some embodiments, multiple vehicles may be considered.
