However, if the accident at hand is more serious, often leading to serious injury, hospitalization and even death, often times the police and their affiliates may be the ones to conduct the investigation. Depending on the event, serious charges can be made against a driver who causes an accident under the influence leading to serious injury or even death. Often substantial evidence should show negligence by the driver at fault that specific laws were broken to be prosecuted. Other factors causing car accidents such as car defects, or other external effects such as traffic light malfunction or roads that are under maintained and faulty, many times the fault will lie with the corresponding external cause.
