Why Hiring the Best Lawyer is Important in Multi-Car Crashes

Aug 31, 2021

Car accidents are an everyday occurrence on California’s often dangerous roads and highways. From minor fender benders to hit-and-runs and even rear-end collisions, motor vehicle accidents happen constantly in the Golden State, particularly here in Southern California. Many of those car accidents tragically result in fatalities, with more than 3,700 motor vehicle-related deaths reported in 2020.

One of the most dangerous types of car accidents entails a scenario where multiple vehicles collide in a single incident. Known as multi-car collisions, these accidents can lead to numerous injuries as well as property damage. When such an accident occurs, proving liability and recovering the financial compensation you deserve for any injuries is of utmost importance.

Below we will look at how multi-vehicle collisions are caused, where they commonly occur, how liability is determined, and discuss how to file a personal injury lawsuit in pursuit of a maximum financial damages award.

What is a Multi-Vehicle Collision/Car Accident?

A multi-car accident is typically defined as a collision where three or more vehicles are involved. A series of rear-end car accidents is a common a scenario ultimately resulting in a multi-vehicle collision. When six or more cars are involved in a particular collision, the term ‘pile-up’ may be used when referring to the incident.

Where Do Multi-Car Collisions Most Commonly Occur?

Both busy highways as well as intersections are common locations where multi-car accidents are known to take place. In such locations, a driver’s limitations (whether due to operating a vehicle while drowsy, distracted, or under the influence) can be exacerbated. Additionally, general error on the part of the driver can be more likely to cause a crash when traveling along busy highways or through intersections. Exercising caution when navigating such locations is strongly recommended.

How is Fault Determined in a Multi-Car Collision?

California is a pure comparative fault state, which means that a percentage of liability is assigned to all involved drivers. In some instances (typically when only two drivers are involved in a motor vehicle collision), a single driver may be determined to be 100% responsible for a car accident. However, in the majority of cases, all involved drivers share a portion of the liability.

With multi-car collisions that include injuries, determining fault can be a more complex process. Having an experienced and trusted personal injury attorney can have numerous advantages for victims of multi-vehicle crashes.

For starters, having a skilled attorney can help ensure your rights are protected, and you do not incur more fault than you should. Furthermore, a proven attorney with experience successfully handling car accident cases can help you recover maximum financial compensation for any injuries sustained in the crash.
