Types of Multi-Vehicle Crashes
Multi-vehicle crashes often happen without warning. One careless move can set off a chain of events that leaves several people hurt. These collisions are more complex than a typical two-car crash. Fault can be shared, unclear, or denied. If you were injured, you need a legal team that knows how to sort through the confusion and focus on the facts.
Here are common multi-vehicle collision cases we handle:
- Highway pileups
- Chain reaction crashes
- Intersection collisions
- Weather-related multi-car accidents
- Construction zone incidents
Each type of crash brings different challenges. Some involve high speeds and serious injuries. Others happen in low-visibility conditions or active work zones. No matter how the crash happened, we work to uncover the truth and build a case that reflects what you’ve been through.
Common Injuries in Multi-Vehicle Collisions
Multi-vehicle collisions cause serious physical harm. With more than one impact, your body may be struck from multiple angles. The crash increases the risk of secondary injuries, which are unique to these types of crashes.
We handle car accident cases that involve these common injuries:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Whiplash and neck injuries
- Severe burns
Injuries from these crashes range from minor to life-threatening. The force of a secondary impact can make a bad injury worse. As a result, recovery may involve surgery, physical therapy, or permanent lifestyle changes. We look at how the injury happened and what it will take for you to move forward. Your case should reflect the full extent of the harm, not just what shows up in a medical chart.
Determining Liability in Multi-Vehicle Accident Cases
Figuring out who caused a multi-vehicle crash takes a thorough review of the evidence. Our legal team uses more than photos and damage estimates. Police reports, crash diagrams, and witness statements also help us show how the accident unfolded. In some cases, we work with crash reconstruction professionals to analyze speed, impact angles, and the sequence of events.
When several drivers are involved, fault and liability may be shared. One driver may have triggered the crash, but others may have made it worse by following too closely or reacting poorly. Every detail helps us show which driver is at fault and who is liable for your damages.
Michigan uses a modified comparative negligence rule under MCL 600.2959. You can recover damages as long as you are 50 percent or less at fault. If you are partially responsible, your recovery is reduced by that percentage.
Insurance Considerations for Michigan Victims
Michigan’s no-fault insurance system is clear—if you’re injured in a crash, your insurance pays for medical care, lost wages, and replacement services, regardless of who caused the accident. These are called Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits.
Insurance coverage is complex when multiple vehicles are involved. Multiple insurance companies may participate in the claim. Determining which policy applies to each part of the claim requires a full review of all coverage limits and legal responsibilities.
If your injuries meet Michigan’s serious impairment threshold, you may pursue damages beyond what no-fault covers. Damages include compensation for pain, emotional distress, and long-term impact. We evaluate your case to determine if a third-party claim is possible and help you take the steps needed to recover what the law allows.
