Freeway Car Crashes
While it is unknown exactly what caused the accident above, freeway crashes are an all to common occurrence in the Southern California/Orange County area. Congested freeways coupled with high-speed traffic make for a dangerous combination, and freeway accidents often involve multiple vehicles. When that occurs, it can sometimes be difficult to determine which driver, or drivers, are at fault for a collision.
Insurance Issues After a Freeway Crash
After a freeway crash involving multiple vehicles, it can often be difficult to determine which driver will be found to be primarily at fault. When there is one driver who is mostly responsible and others who are less at fault, understanding how their insurance policies will compensate the injured parties can often be difficult. This is especially true because of certain legal rules here in California that make ALL at fault parties equally responsible for an injured party’s economic losses. But, those same negligent drivers are only responsible for their respective share of the pain and suffering they have caused.
