Multi-Car Pileup Liability
Sorting out liability and insurance issues in a multiple-car collision can be complex. It is important to determine who is at fault and which driver has enough insurance to pay for your damages.
At Shollenberger Januzzi & Wolfe, our attorneys offer a free initial consultation to explain your options and answer your questions if you have been injured in a multi-car pileup. With offices in Harrisburg and Enola, we represent people injured in car accidents throughout central Pennsylvania.
Complex Issues in These Cases
In a multiple-car collision, more than one driver may be at fault. While the accident may have been caused by someone several cars ahead of you, someone who plows into you from behind may also be at fault. Identifying all liable parties is important for several reasons:
- Fault is important in determining whose insurance company will pay for your losses if you have suffered a serious injury.
- Many drivers carry only the minimum liability insurance required by law, which is $15,000 for an injury suffered by a single person. If your injuries are serious, $15,000 will not go far in covering your damages.
One of the most important services an experienced personal injury lawyer can provide for you is to evaluate all potential liability sources, given your case facts, and then pursue maximum compensation using our civil justice system.
Our law firm works with an investigator and experts who help us gather all of the information from the police and witnesses, reconstruct the accident, and identify all parties who may be liable.
