Understanding Multiple-Vehicle Accidents
As the term denotes, multiple-vehicle accidents in Atlanta are crashes that involve more than two vehicles. They are often more dangerous than single and double-vehicle crashes, but not always. When injuries and losses arise from these types of accidents, it may be difficult to determine who is liable for the crash without the help of an experienced multi-vehicle accidents lawyer in Atlanta.
Common Causes of Multiple-Vehicle Crashes
When you hire The Stoddard Firm, we immediately set out to thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your multiple-vehicle crash to determine its exact cause or causes. Some of the more common reasons these types of accidents occur include:
- Speeding
- Impairment
- Distracted driving
- Following too closely
- Road rage
- Aggressive driving
- Failure to stop
- Use of an unsafe motor vehicle.
In many cases, the road or weather conditions might be to blame. Couple bad driving conditions with any of the examples of negligent driving listed above and you’ve got a recipe for an accident.
Who’s to Blame?
Your multi-vehicle accidents lawyer in Atlanta will determine the cause of the accident as well as identify the responsible parties. In some cases, more than one driver may be liable for your injuries.
After a comprehensive investigation, the liable parties we identify may include:
- Negligent drivers
- A negligent trucking company that owns the commercial truck
- Negligent shipping companies for unsafe load tie-downs
- Vehicle and vehicle parts makers, such as brake manufacturers
- Government agencies for improper road maintenance and road defects.
Once we determine who the negligent party or parties are, our team will work toward filing a claim against the relevant insurance companies and fight for your compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our Attorneys Answer Questions
Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about multiple-vehicle accidents in Atlanta.
How much does a multi-vehicle accidents lawyer in Atlanta charge?
As a client of The Stoddard Firm, your payment of attorney’s fees will come from your settlement or verdict. That means you are not required to pay for our services unless and until we win your case.
How long do I have to seek compensation for a multi-vehicle accident case?
After a multi-vehicle accident, you typically have two years to file a lawsuit for compensation although the period can be shorter or longer in some circumstances. This limited window makes quick action essential in these matters. If you or someone you care about has been in a multi-vehicle crash, seek legal counsel as soon as possible to preserve your claim.
How long does it take to receive compensation in cases such as these?
Standard car accident claims can be resolved in a few months in many cases. However, with multiple parties involved, it may take longer than a typical traffic accident claim to resolve your case. The Stoddard Firm works diligently to recover damages in as timely a manner as possible.
Should I accept the insurance company’s settlement offer?
You should discuss the offer with a multi-vehicle accidents lawyer in Atlanta before accepting it. It is likely that the offer is below what you deserve. An attorney will properly evaluate the offer for you and negotiate for more if necessary.
Why do only some auto accident cases go to trial?
Most auto accident cases never go to trial. Only the more complex cases see a judge and jury. Multi-vehicle cases are often complex and may result in more trials than other types of vehicle accidents. However, overall, compensation for these and other types of wrecks typically comes by way of settlement.
