Multi Car Pile Up Accident Attorneys
In a multi car pile up accident, establishing liability can be challenging enough. Even when the facts are clearly on your side, the trucking company and its insurer are still going to do everything possible to try to avoid paying the compensation you deserve. You can win, but it takes an experienced attorney who knows the law and who has the skills and resources necessary to put the legal system on your side.
Multi car pile up accidents present even more of a challenge. Why? Because now, the trucking company can try to point the finger at someone else. In fact, multi-vehicle pile-up cases can be extremely complex, and sorting out liability requires extensive experience in truck accident investigations, settlements and litigation.
At the Pisanchyn Law Firm, we will work to help you secure just compensation. We have experience on both sides of complex accident cases, and we take a swift, aggressive approach to protecting our clients’ rights. When everyone is pointing the finger and no one wants to take responsibility, we can use the evidence to prove your case so that you move on with the rest of your life.
IN A MULTI CAR PILE UP ACCIDENT, WHO IS TO BLAME?
You’re sitting in traffic on the highway. Suddenly, you start to hear unrecognizable noises – and they’re loud – and then you see chaos unraveling in your rearview mirror. Then, you get hit. Your vehicle is being pushed forward, or spinning out of control, and you are literally holding on for dear life. Eventually, you come to a stop, and when you are able to get out of your vehicle, you see nothing but a mangled mess of damaged vehicles all around you. What happened? What do you do now?
In a multi care pile up accident – as in all types of collisions – establishing fault is the key to recovering just compensation. While it may seem impossible, with the right tools – and the right experience – you can get to the bottom of what happened. At the Pisanchyn Law Firm, our lawyers rely work closely with accident re-constructionists and other experts to establish our clients’ claims to compensation.
COMMON CAUSES MULTI-CAR PILE UP ACCIDENTS INCLUDE:
- Brake failures
- Driver negligence (such as texting, drinking or falling asleep behind the wheel)
- Speeding or driving too fast for weather conditions
- Tailgating leading to rear-end collisions
- Tire blowouts
- Truck jackknifes and other trucking accidents
- Unsecured truck cargo
Regardless of the cause, acting quickly will give you the best chance to secure maximum compensation for your injuries. Evidence can fade, and other people involved in the accident will be hiring lawyers to protect their interests, so you need someone who is fighting for you. We can get started on your case right away, and we will not stop fighting until we’ve done everything in our power to secure the compensation you deserve.
If you have been involved in a multi-vehicle accident, we encourage you to contact us. We can assess your situation, and we can advise you on any steps you need to take to protect your legal rights.

What To Do After an Accident
Call the police
A police report is a necessary document for any personal injury claim arising from an auto accident. This will not only contain information regarding how the accident occurred and whether injuries were sustained, but also witness information that may be valuable in future litigation. If for some reason you do not call the police immediately, there is a form you can complete to file an accident report after it occurs, which can be found at the Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles site: http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms/dl_forms/aa-600.pdf
Seek medical treatment
If you sustained an injury in the accident, even if you are not sure whether it is serious, you should seek immediate medical treatment and truthfully describe your symptoms to the person who treats you. They may take X-Rays, MRIs, or other diagnostic tests to determine whether you need treatment. It is common to receive a “sprain and strain” diagnosis, which the emergency room physicians may say should improve with rest and over the counter anti-inflammatories, such as ibuprofen. Hopefully, you will improve. However, if you continue to have problems after the initial visit, you should consider following up with your regular doctor or a specialist to see if the injury is more severe than the original diagnosis would indicate.
Detail the accident
After a crash, you may have a vivid recollection of exactly what happened, or you may not recall the events. Since memories may fade over time, it is helpful to draw the road or intersection where the accident occurred, including the position of the vehicles and any traffic lights or signs. If you recall what speed you were traveling, whether you saw the other driver on a cell phone, or anything else that you think may be important, writing it down can help refresh your recollection later on.
Call your insurance agent
Your car insurance will likely cover your initial medical bills, up to your coverage limit. You may also have wage loss and property damage coverage. It is important to contact your insurance company to open the claim and provide them with whatever information they need.
