Multi-vehicle accidents occur when a singular accident causes a sort of chain reaction where multiple vehicles behind it also get caught in accidents. These inevitably cause lots of damage and can cause some serious injuries. If you or a loved one has been in a multi-vehicle accident, contact us for a free consultation to see if you may be entitled to compensation.

What kinds of accidents can occur?

Multi-vehicle accidents involve three or more vehicles, and can be caused by just about anything. If inclement weather conditions cause one car to slip on an icy spot on the road, it may cause many more cars to see the car slip, and attempt to avoid it, which may cause more damage overall. Falling asleep at the wheel can often cause these accidents also, as when one wakes up to find they are close to getting into an accident, they may slam on the brakes. This may cause the cars following it to slam on the brakes as well, and cause a chain reaction of collisions behind the fatigued driver. The list of causes goes on, from distracted driving to drunk driving to speeding.

What should I do after a multi-vehicle accident?

In any multi-vehicle accident, the costs are high. You are dealing with multiple cars’ property damage and the injuries of all the passengers involved. They can result in injuries from some broken bones to even death. After an accident, call 911 and seek help immediately. If it is possible to have someone take photos of the scene of the accident, have them do so. Once you have been treated for your injuries and are more recovered, speak to an experienced attorney to assist you in proceeding with a lawsuit. An attorney will help you find the liable defendant, speak with your insurance company about compensation, and help you get justice for what you have endured.
