Multi-vehicle car crashes are some of the most dangerous car accidents that occur on Florida’s roads. That’s because there are many cars and many drivers involved, so there’s a greater chance of someone being seriously hurt or killed in the incident.
Multi-vehicle accidents can also be complicated, as victims need to understand who is responsible for their losses when there are so many different parties involved. Those responsible can be made to pay damages, but only if victims can prove they were to blame.
Diaco Law has extensive experience untangling the facts and building a strong claim in these difficult circumstances. You can give us a call today if you need help from a Tampa multi-vehicle accident lawyer with the knowledge and skill needed to maximize your chances of a successful claim.
What is a Multi-Vehicle Car Accident, and How do They Happen?
Multi-vehicle car accidents are collisions involving three or more vehicles. Usually, these accidents occur when one car collides with another, causing a chain reaction. For example:
- One car could hit another from the rear, causing the car that was hit to, in turn, hit the car in front of it.
- One car could hit another and push that vehicle into opposing traffic, causing a collision with other cars coming down the road on the opposite side of the yellow line
- One car could hit another, disabling both vehicles, and other cars may not be able to stop or swerve fast enough, thus striking the other vehicles that were first involved in the initial accident
Unfortunately, the chain reaction is often started by a driver who is negligent or careless behind the wheel.
The driver who starts the chain reaction could be drunk, speeding, distracted, tired, or simply fail to follow the rules of the road. In these circumstances, ultimately, that driver should be held liable for losses, but it can be hard to figure out who was truly to blame.
