What To Do After A Multi-Car Accident
Keep these considerations in mind in the wake of a multi-car accident if you’re caught wondering what do to after a car accident:
- Make sure you call the police. After minor two car accidents, people in a hurry to get on with their days often agree not to call the police to the scene and to work it out later or among themselves. You may not want to try this with a multi-car accident. There’s a lot more evidence and a lot more “involved” in the accident. Call the police so you can have an official record of what happened along with statements from every driver and witness. A police report may be an important part of securing compensation for any damages going forward.
- Don’t make statements to other drivers involved that acknowledge or imply fault. Even if you think the accident was your fault, it may not have been, especially with multiple cars involved and so much going on. Your admission could cost you in the future.
- Seek medical attention. You never know how much damage could have been done and it’s important to be under the care and supervision of a medical professional as soon as possible for the sake of your own health. Even if your injuries are very minor, immediately seeking treatment may play an important role in successfully seeking compensation. You don’t want a court or jury wondering if your damages are sincere in light of a delay to get treatment.
- Talk to a lawyer. Contact an attorney to learn the details of how liability is proportioned and to help you determine liability for who was at fault for the accident. A lawyer can help you make your case and fight for you to achieve the most favorable outcome possible in any litigation. Don’t try to navigate an insurance claim on your own. Insurance companies are not your friend and will try to use your words to avoid paying if at all possible.

Different Types Of Multi-Vehicle Accidents
If a vehicle crashes into another in a dense traffic area, the two-vehicle accident can quickly become a multiple-vehicle pileup. Due to distraction, following too closely or speed, drivers behind or even in front the first two impacting vehicles, may also become involved in the accident. There are a few common types of multiple accidents and areas that are more prone to three or more vehicle pileups:
- Intersections. Drivers who follow close to each other through an intersection can find it difficult to stop in time. Running red lights, not yielding while turning and stopping suddenly are all common causes of multiple vehicle accidents in intersections.
- Highway pileups. Speeding and distraction and following too closely are significant contributors to highway pileups. During a collision, one vehicle can swerve into other lanes or stop too suddenly for those behind them to stop.
- Rear-end crashes. Following too closely or being distracted can cause a driver to hit the vehicle in front of them. A rear end crash can cause a chain reaction, with the hit vehicle being pushed into the car in front of them as well as vehicles impacting the suddenly stopped vehicle that initiated the crash.
