Multi-Vehicle Accidents With Trucks in Pennsylvania
Truck accidents involving multiple vehicles have become an increasing concern for Philadelphia residents and commuters alike. These complex collisions, often occurring on major arteries like I-95, I-76, and the Schuylkill Expressway, can lead to catastrophic consequences, including severe injuries, fatalities, and extensive property damage. Unlike in simple two-car collisions, determining fault in multi-vehicle accidents with a truck often involves difficult investigations. Multiple parties may share varying degrees of responsibility, making these cases particularly challenging.
Pennsylvania’s comparative negligence laws add another layer of difficulty, as compensation can be reduced by your percentage of fault in causing the accident. This makes thorough investigation and evidence preservation crucial in multi-vehicle cases. Pennsylvania’s choice no-fault insurance system creates additional complications in multi-vehicle scenarios. While your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage provides initial medical benefits regardless of fault, severe injuries often exceed these limits.
When multiple insurance companies become involved, each representing different drivers in the chain-reaction crash, navigating the claims process becomes increasingly difficult without experienced legal representation.
When commercial trucks become involved, the consequences become even more severe. This extreme weight disparity means truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities, particularly for occupants of smaller vehicles. Pennsylvania’s position as a major logistics corridor means our highways see heavy commercial truck traffic, increasing the risk of these dangerous collisions.
