A chain reaction accident occurs when multiple cars hit each other in a sequence of front to rear collisions. This type of personal injury accident typically involves many drivers, all of whom may be responsible for the collision to some degree.

Typically, chain reaction accidents begin with a single collision. Car A may collide with Car B, causing Car B to veer out of control into Car C, and so on. An example of this is a fender bender at an intersection. If the lead car is pushed into oncoming traffic, the driver may be put in a life-threatening position where he could be hit head-on or T-boned.

Determining who is at fault after a chain reaction personal injury car or truck accident is not always clear. People assume that the driver who caused the first collision is the one who should bear full responsibility. However, there are many factors in an accident like this which can attribute liability for the accident to multiple defendants; some examples follow:

1. One of the drivers may have violated a traffic law: Improper lane changes, reckless driving, speeding and failure to adhere to traffic signals or signs can all contribute to this kind of accident.
2. A driver may have been tailgating or may have been tailgated: If any of the drivers have followed too closely, that tailgater should also be at fault for the accident.
3. One of the drivers may have been distracted: A large percentage of personal injury car accidents and personal injury truck accidents are linked to driving while distracted. The use of cellphones, and other technology while driving, can significantly impair a driver’s reaction time and be a determining factor in a driver’s responsibility for an accident.
4. One of the drivers may have failed to signal correctly: If a driver’s brake lights are not working correctly, or if they fail to use turn signals, other drivers on the road will not be alerted to changes in movement. This can impair a driver’s reaction time and is another factor in determining liability for an accident.
5. The local government has not maintained the roads, signs and traffic signals: Some accidents occur because of poorly maintained roads or confusion surrounding missing or damaged road signs.
6. Medical conditions can cause personal injury accidents: In these exceptional cases, a driver who was impaired by an unforeseeable medical condition, is not necessarily at fault. However, if the medical condition was foreseeable, fault can be blamed on the driver and a case can be made for you. In a circumstance such as this, you would be best advised to contact us immediately at 716-839-3939.
