Vehicle Accidents in California

Whenever a chain reaction vehicle collision occurs, it means three or more vehicles collided due to an initial single collision. When this happens, determining liability can be difficult as there may be more than one factor that caused the accident, which means more than one liable party could be held responsible.

Because this accident involved five vehicles, investigators may have a tough time figuring out who should be held liable. They’re checking the condition of each vehicle, of each driver, and of the highway to determine if any of these were contributing factors. They’re also checking to see if negligence played a role. Once they finish their reports, it’s likely that personal injury lawsuits will be filed with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
