Car accident claims can be challenging when only two vehicles are involved. When several cars crash in a pileup, the complexity level skyrockets. Still, you deserve compensation for your damages if you were injured in a multiple-vehicle collision.
How are fault and liability determined when several vehicles collide? Do I need a lawyer? An experienced San Jose, CA car accident attorney from Fuller Law Firm can help you get the compensation you deserve and hold all at-fault parties accountable.
When several vehicles are involved in a chain-reaction crash, the impacts are not simultaneous. Instead, there is a series of several individual collisions, one after another. Each impact can cause new injuries or worsen already-sustained injuries, with additional property damage following a similar course.
To hold someone liable for your injuries and related damages, you must have evidence showing that negligent driving was to blame. In a two-vehicle crash, it is much easier to understand why it happened and who was at fault. For instance, speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, distracted driving, tailgating, and failing to yield the right of way are common driver errors that lead to collisions.
Your car might be hit multiple times by different vehicles in a chain-reaction crash, presenting a tremendous challenge when establishing who caused which injury and who caused an initial injury to worsen. Common injuries from car accidents include:
Concussion
Broken bones
Facial and head injuries
Whiplash
Extensive bruising
Spinal cord or traumatic brain injuries
An accident reconstruction is often required to determine the order in which each impact occurred, and you may need expert medical evaluations to show what effects each impact had on your condition. Most people do not know where to begin or how to proceed unless they have the support and legal guidance of a skilled lawyer.
Other complications could arise, such as if a commercial, rideshare, or government vehicle is involved in your crash. When you choose Fuller Law Firm, we know how to overcome these challenges.
