Liability in a Multi-Vehicle Crash

Determining liability in a chain-reaction car accident can be more challenging than in a two-vehicle accident. It could be that the person who caused the first accident in the chain is entirely liable for the rest of the collisions, or someone else may be partially liable for causing part of the destruction.

To understand the liability for the accident, you’ll need to know a few things, such as:

  • The factors that caused the initial accident
  • The actions each person involved in the accident took 
  • Whether their actions contributed to the crash 
  • The laws involved at each step of the chain

As you can see, determining liability in a multi-vehicle accident can involve several complicated considerations. 

In Louisiana, the state uses a pure comparative fault standard for accidents. That means an injured victim can recover compensation from any party that was negligent to any you have the accident. However, their financial recovery will be reduced by their percentage of fault. If you’ve been involved in a multi-vehicle accident, talk with an attorney to understand whether you may be entitled to compensation.

How is Fault Determined in a Multi-Vehicle Accident?

In a case where multiple car accident liabilities is involved, investigators and lawyers need to look at how all the drivers’ negligence contributed to the accident. By looking at each driver’s role and whether their actions contributed to the accident, they can understand who should be held at fault for the accident. Ultimately, this may result in finding that more than one party is to blame for the damages you incurred.
