How to Determine Fault in a Chain-Reaction Collision
An injured victim of a multi-vehicle accident may be awarded monetary compensation if another party was negligent and their negligence caused, or contributed to, the accident. However, determining fault is more complicated.
In most cases, more than one party shares the blame for the collision. Our Longview car accident attorneys can investigate the accident, gather evidence, and determine which parties were negligent when the crash occurred.
Common types of multi-car accidents include:
- Rear-end collision
- T-bone collision
- Head-on collision
- Hit and run
