Vehicle Accidents in California
Determining liability can be complex especially if there are multiple vehicles involved. In this case, because seven vehicles were involved in this collision, investigators will have to work hard to determine what caused the accident and who will be held liable. There’s a possibility that more than one party could be held liable for this accident depending on what investigators find. They’re checking road conditions, all vehicle conditions, and the condition of each driver. They’re checking to see if alcohol or drugs contributed to the accident, or if speed was a factor. Once they conclude their reports, a personal injury lawsuit may be filed with the help of a California personal injury lawyer.
