What is an 'at fault' accident?

In: Auto Accidents and Insurance Claims [Recategorize]

[Edit]

Answer

It means that you are literally at fault for damages incurred from the accident, including other vehicles, municipal/state property, and the damage caused to your own vehicle. Your insurance will have to pick up the tab on all of this, and the city will probably fine you for crashing and destroying their property.
