Traffic accidents of any kind can be disastrous; however, accidents that involve multiple vehicles are often particularly devastating. Frequently occurring on high-capacity roads such as freeways and in adverse weather conditions, multi-vehicle accidents (also referred to as pile-up accidents) pose an increased risk of severe injury and even death to those involved. When a multi-vehicle accident occurs, the sheer size and scale of the accident can make it hard to ascertain who’s at fault. Fortunately, our experienced car accident attorneys have a deep understanding of Nevada traffic laws and can help victims of multi-vehicle accidents assign liability and pursue compensation for their injuries.

Multi-vehicle accidents are common on highways and roads with reduced visibility caused by fog, rain, or snow. Typically, these accidents are chain reactions, such as rear-end collisions, cross-lane accidents, or highway pile-ups. For example, when a car is rear-ended, the force from the crash can cause it to lurch forward and strike a third vehicle. A few of the most common causes of multi-vehicle accidents include the following.
In the state of Nevada, the fault for a car accident is determined by proving negligence. However, in the case of multi-vehicle accidents, it can be difficult for investigators to determine which party’s negligent actions initially led to the crash, and this dilemma only grows messier once insurance companies get involved. Due to the many complications that tend to arise in multi-vehicle accidents, it’s often difficult for injured parties to receive proper compensation for their damages. This is why it’s crucial to have an experienced accident attorney on your side who can help review the specifics of your case and ensure the negligent party/parties are held responsible for their actions.
Those who have been injured in an accident precipitated by another party’s negligence have the right to seek financial compensation for incurred damages. A few of the most common compensable damages include the following.
Due to their size and scope, multi-vehicle accidents typically result in more significant damages and injuries to those involved than regular car accidents. Because of this, insurance companies often attempt to avoid making large payouts by persuading victims to accept a settlement that’s far less than they’re rightfully owed.
