Most people are familiar with the falling dominoes game. Domino tiles are placed upright, one after the next, so that knocking over a single tile begins a chain reaction that brings down the entire row. Multi-car accidents occur in much the same way. Under certain driving conditions, a mistake by one motorist can set off a massive collision, potentially injuring other motorists who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In such situations, it’s important to seek guidance from a motorcycle injury lawyer to protect your rights and interests.

Multi-car accidents (also called “pileups”) can involve many drivers, passengers, witnesses, and other parties. If you were hurt in one of these accidents, do not allow your claim to get lost in the shuffle. Protect yourself by learning how a multi-car accident lawyer can help.

Multi-Car Accidents on the Crowded Streets of Southern California

Pileup accidents are more likely to occur in areas with high traffic congestion. That is bad news for people living in this part of the state. Consider the Riverside Freeway (Route 91) between Corona and Yorba Linda. Because of the topography of the Santa Ana Mountains, this section of the freeway is the primary artery for people commuting into Orange County from the east. As a result, congestion is heavy, especially during peak driving hours. It is simply a matter of too many vehicles and not enough roadway. When accidents do occur, consulting a vehicle accident lawyer can be crucial to navigating the legal aftermath.

Identifying Fault in a Multi-Car Crash

One Driving Mistake Can Trigger a Chain Reaction

Every multi-vehicle accident begins with some type of unexpected movement by the first vehicle involved. This triggering event is usually the result of driver error. Even if the driver of the first vehicle is not to blame, other drivers involved in the crash may have made mistakes while reacting (or failing to react) to the situation. In such cases, consulting with a car crash lawyer can help you through the process of seeking compensation for your injuries.

Driving behaviors with the potential to cause or contribute to a pileup accident include:

  • Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
  • Tailgating
  • Smartphone use and other forms of distracted driving
  • Failure to obey traffic signals
  • Rubbernecking at the scene of a prior accident
  • Losing control while attempting to avoid debris or animals
  • Driver fatigue/falling asleep at the wheel
  • Failure to maintain lane of travel
  • Improper passing on a 2-lane road
  • DUI or drugs
  • Failing to move a stalled vehicle off the roadway
  • Driving without headlights or taillights.

Proving fault in a multi-car crash can be challenging since multiple drivers are involved in the accident. You need a car accident attorney who has experience handling the complexities of multi-vehicle accidents if you hope to recover the injury compensation you need.

Why You Should Hire a Lawyer for a Multi-Car Accident Claim

Defendants in pileup cases often point to contributing factors like the weather as excuses for their own negligence. Confusion can also arise as to which drivers contributed to the accident, and which did not.

For example, assume the following scenario. You are driving up the San Diego Freeway toward Dana Point early one morning. The traffic in front of you slows as you approach a patch of fog that has rolled in off the ocean. You slow down as well, making sure to leave a safe distance between you and the vehicle you are following. Suddenly, a vehicle slams into you from behind, causing you to rear-end the vehicle in front. To your surprise, the driver behind you later claims that the accident was unavoidable due to poor visibility. You also learn that the driver in front of you has filed a claim against your insurance company. You wonder, how can this be?

If you find yourself in this situation, it’s important to consult with a rear-end collision lawyer to understand your legal options. 

Situations like these are all too common in multi-vehicle accidents. At Neale & Fhima, our personal injury attorneys can determine who should be held responsible for a pileup, regardless of what the other parties are claiming. Most importantly, when it comes time for settlement, we will make sure you receive compensation for all your damages — physical, emotional, and financial.
