Video Highlights

Multiple vehicle collisions can be complex due to uncertainty about how the accident occurred. Often, the sequence of events is unclear, making it hard to determine fault. Alabama law allows for joint and several liability, enabling victims to sue multiple parties. Gathering evidence, such as video footage, is crucial for building a strong case.

Common Questions

What should I do immediately after a multiple vehicle collision?

Ensure everyone is safe and call emergency services. Document the scene and gather information from other drivers and witnesses. Seek medical attention if needed.

How is fault determined in a multiple vehicle accident?

Fault is determined by analyzing evidence, witness statements, and police reports. In Alabama, joint and several liability allows for multiple parties to be held accountable.

Can video footage help my case?

Yes, video footage can provide critical evidence in establishing how the accident occurred and who was at fault. It's important to gather any available video as soon as possible.

Transcript

Multiple car accidents can be very difficult because often the people involved aren't quite sure how the accident happened. Sometimes you'll have cars that are in a line and they'll get rendered by one and they just continue to hit each other. And nobody really knows who hit them other than the car behind them. And that car may not be at fault because they were hit from behind. In other cases, you'll have people traveling down the highway and there'll be a sideswipe or a light strike from passing cars that then causes one car or the other to go into oncoming traffic. Both cars will dispute where they were on the roadway at the time. And all the person who was involved in the head-on collision knows is that they're hurt pretty bad. Alabama provides for joint and several liability and all you've got to do is sue both of them and let the jury figure it out. But what you also have to do is get somebody out there to find a video. Gas stations have a lot of videos. Ring doorbells carry video. We see a lot of accidents we find on video. But at any rate, there's a solution for somebody out there and we'll help you find it.
