What Is a Multi-Vehicle Accident?

A multi-vehicle accident is often known as a pile-up and can occur for a variety of reasons. In some cases, it may be due to inclement weather such as wet, slick roads and a hazard that causes a lead vehicle to hit their brakes or swerve suddenly. As a result, the vehicles behind them (or in the oncoming lane), have to react suddenly and will collide with the vehicle in front of them or near them, setting off a chain reaction. These accidents can be particularly terrifying in the sense that you may be one of the first to be involved in the crash but are trapped in your vehicle as impacts and collisions continue to happen all around you. The emotional stress of this ongoing crash can have a serious detriment to a victim.

What To Do After a Multi-Vehicle Crash

The most important thing to do after any car accident, no matter how many or how few other vehicles are involved, is to make sure that you and your passengers are safe. In some cases, this may involve getting out of the vehicle and away from the scene of the accident in order to avoid any oncoming traffic, hazards such as electrical failures, fluid spills, or fires, but in some cases might require staying put. During a multi-car crash, the collisions may continue to happen for a while, meaning that the vehicles around you might continue to shift and collide, meaning that leaving your own vehicle is extremely unsafe unless there is an urgent need.

If you have been injured, seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your injuries are serious, then you should accept medical treatment from the EMTs on the scene, and if they suggest it, possibly get a ride to the hospital in an ambulance. Otherwise, you will want to see your doctor as soon as possible to establish medical records for any injuries that you sustained. This will serve a double benefit of ensuring that you get the treatment you need to recover, but will also provide a paper trail that traces your injuries back to the accident—which is extremely important if you need to seek damages in a lawsuit or negotiate with the insurance company.
