Determining Fault in a Multiple-Vehicle Accident

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

Any type of accident can have devastating results. That situation is compounded when you’re involved in a multiple-vehicle crash. Now, several people are injured and looking at extensive damages and lengthy recovery times.

This type of crash can be especially difficult. Not only are multiple people seeking compensation, but there are far more people who could be deemed the responsible party. In these complex cases, you’ll need a lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates when determining fault in a multi-car wreck

Although these accidents can make it increasingly difficult to determine the at-fault party, you shouldn’t hesitate to go after the money you need for your damages. A lawyer will have the experience and resources to identify the responsible party and put you one step closer toward recovery.

Determining Cause in a Multi-Car Wreck

When you’re involved in a serious crash, you’ll need to determine what caused the accident. Although your memory might be hazy, it’s important to go through every detail you can recall with your attorney. You might be surprised what comes to the surface.

For example, you might have noticed that one of the other drivers was swerving dangerously or driving aggressively. Other drivers were trying to avoid this vehicle, but they still hit someone. This accident caused a chain reaction that left you with severe injuries and a damaged or totaled car.

Your lawyer will also look to gather eyewitness reports, but the recollections of the involved drivers will be crucial. If the cause is still unclear, your lawyer can turn to other forms of investigation.

Recreating the Crash Scene

Reckless driving causes hundreds of accidents every year, but the cause of your accident might not be so obvious. In some cases, it might seem as if one driver simply lost control, for example. You have to look for who or what caused the accident before you can begin gathering more evidence that the at-fault party was negligent.

Sometimes, you can rely on footage caught by security cameras or other surveillance tools. These can give you a better idea of what happened and how. Your lawyer can call also on experts to recreate the accident based on evidence collected from the scene.

For example, one or more drivers might have lost control of their vehicles during the accident, but they were being diligent. The combination of video footage and accident recreation can help your lawyer discover that the road itself was unsafe and caused the accident.

When the Salt Lake City Department of Transportation doesn’t take care to ensure the roads are safe for drivers, you can bring a claim against them for your damages.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
