Confusion During or After Multiple Vehicle Accident
Multi-vehicle accidents can cause conundrums of all sorts for inexperienced attorneys, insurance companies, law enforcement and even the victims. Who’s at fault, how property damage and injuries occurred, and where do victims turn for compensation are all questions that will arise from a multi-vehicle accident. The knowledge of a seasoned car accident attorney, time and hard work are the determining factors that will lead to answers.
Common Factors for Multi-Vehicle Accidents
There is absolutely no way to predict or prevent how a crash may occur. At The Law Office of Cassandra Evans-Jones we’ve seen our share of multi-accident cases. Some common scenarios or factors we are familiar with include:
- Two-car collisions that escalate into a multi-vehicle crash as other drivers attempt to make evasive maneuvers in avoidance of an accident.
- Accidents on highways that cause chain reaction crashes trigger numerous rear-end collisions.
- Slick or slippery roads on which vehicles are unable to stop in time to avoid an accident.
- Multi-lane accident which creates an obstacle in which vehicles strike or collide into each other because there is no alternative route.
- Aggressive driving and speeding in heavy traffic.
- Fatigue, drug, or drunk driving.
- Distracted driving (cell phones or eating) on highways.
- Driving a vehicle in need of serious maintenance.
