The person liable for a multi-car crash depends on who caused or contributed to the crash. Multiple parties can even share liability. It can be difficult to determine who’s liable.
If you or a family member were involved in a multi-car crash, our firm will determine who is liable. If multiple parties are liable for the crash, our firm will demand compensation from each of them. In a free consultation with us, you’ll learn more about liability in your case.
Who Is at Fault in a Multi-Car Accident in Texas?
As a victim of a multi-car accident, you may have major injuries, like trauma to your limbs, abdomen, back, arms, neck, or head. If a relative suffered fatal injuries in a motor vehicle accident, your family may be grieving. You may feel the need to hold the at-fault party or parties to account for your injuries or emotional suffering.
In Texas, one or more parties can be at fault for a car accident. For instance, if a single motorist drove carelessly, they could be entirely at fault for an accident. Or if multiple motorists drove carelessly, they could all share fault for an accident. Additionally, if another entity, like the local government, acted carelessly in some way and contributed to the accident, they could also share fault.
A multi-car crash attorney from our firm can identify who is at fault for your multi-car crash, and then your attorney will hold them to account. If multiple parties share fault, your attorney will hold each of them to account.
Whose Insurance Pays in a Multi-Car Accident in Texas?
In Texas, if a party is at fault for an accident, their insurance pays for the faultless party’s damages. And if multiple parties are found at fault, each party’s insurance pays for the faultless party’s damages.
In your case, you could collect compensation from multiple parties. Your attorney will determine if that’s possible.
How do You Prove Liability for a Multi-Car Crash?
It can be difficult to prove liability in any car accident case, and it can be especially difficult in a multi-car accident case. Many parties could share liability, and it can be difficult to prove how each party contributed to the accident and why each party is liable. One of our firm’s lawyers can do all of this for you.
To help prove liability in your case, your lawyer will show evidence of liability. Such evidence could be:
- Traffic camera footage showing that multiple drivers contributed to the crash
- Car event data recorder information showing that a driver caused the crash
- Rideshare company app data showing that a rideshare company is liable
- Truck repair logs showing that a trucking company is liable
- Road repair details showing that the local government shares liability
Then, to fully prove liability in your case, your lawyer will show:
- That the other party or parties owed you a duty of care, such as the responsibility of driving carefully
- How the other party or parties breached their duty, such as by driving drunk
- Why the other party or parties caused or contributed to the accident, such as by crashing into multiple cars
- That you suffered damages, such as a concussion
