// GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE
Boca Raton Multiple Car Accident Lawyers
What’s worse than having to deal with a reckless or negligent driver and their insurance company after an accident? Having to deal with multiple drivers and multiple insurance companies.
While accidents involving more than two drivers can be the result of just one careless or reckless driver’s actions, there are often multiple liable parties, which can make securing the compensation you deserve more complicated.
Multiple cars may also mean multiple collisions with your car. Being struck several times can increase the likelihood of severe and potentially catastrophic injuries as well as an elevated risk of death. Whether it involved head-on, side-impact, rear-end collisions or a combination of the three, multiple car collisions can have devastating consequences.
Common Causes of Multiple Car Pileups in Boca Raton
- Distracted Driving: Drivers not paying attention to the road, often due to interacting with their phones, fiddling with the radio or the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto interface, eating or engaging in other distracting behaviors can increase the risk of a collision.
- Tailgating: Following the vehicle in front too closely can result in a domino effect if the leading vehicle suddenly stops or slows down.
- Poor Weather Conditions: Rain, snow, ice or fog can reduce visibility and make roads slippery, increasing the likelihood of multiple car accidents.
- Speeding: Driving at speeds higher than recommended or safe for the conditions can make it difficult for drivers to react in time to avoid collisions. Vehicles don’t even necessarily have to be speeding. Highways that are running smoothly with all vehicles traveling at 55 mph or faster may be less dangerous than gridlocked, stop-and-go traffic where multi-car pileups happen at low speeds.
- Reckless Driving: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as weaving in and out of traffic, can lead to a chain-reaction accident.
- Failure to Yield Right of Way: If a driver fails to yield when required, it can lead to collisions at intersections or merging lanes. Vehicles in abutting lanes may be unable to move out of the way or brake in time.
- Mechanical Failures: Malfunctioning brakes, tires or other critical systems can cause drivers to lose control of their vehicle, causing them to swerve and collide with multiple vehicles in nearby lanes.
- Drunk or Impaired Driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can impair a driver's judgment and reaction time.
- Construction Zones: Reduced lanes, changes in traffic patterns and short merging lanes in construction zones can create a chaotic and stressful driving environment with an elevated risk of chain-reaction accidents.
- Road Debris: Objects on the road, such as fallen cargo or debris, can cause a multi-car pileup as drivers try to swerve into adjoining lanes to avoid or navigate around the hazard.
Multiple car accidents can often result in extensive vehicle damage, catastrophic injuries and complicated, acrimonious legal proceedings. Kanner & Pintaluga’s experienced multi-vehicle accident lawyers in Boca Raton will sort through the mess for you. We’ll take the grueling and tedious legal battle off your hands and fight for maximum compensation on your behalf so you can focus on your recovery.
Can I Still Recover Compensation if I Was Partially at Fault?
Yes. Since Florida follows comparative negligence laws, even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be able to recover compensation. However, the amount you receive could be reduced based on your percentage of fault. If you are deemed to be primarily at fault, or if you’re found to be more than 50 percent liable, you won’t be able to recover compensation, regardless of the other driver’s role in the accident.
That said, Florida doesn’t always factor fault into accident proceedings. Because the state uses a no-fault insurance system, each driver will need to seek compensation for medical bills and lost wages from their own personal injury protection (PIP) insurance before taking action against other drivers involved in the crash. If another driver is clearly at fault, you can pursue a personal injury claim against them for additional damages, including non-economic damages like pain and suffering (which PIP doesn’t cover) as well as medical costs and lost wages that aren’t completely paid for by your PIP.

Types of Compensation You Can Recover
At Kanner & Pintaluga, we help drivers injured in multiple car collisions get compensation for both economic damages and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
Quantifiable medical expenses, including current and future treatments, rehabilitation costs and medications, will be covered as well as less quantifiable ones, including pain and suffering, emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life. Our Boca Raton car crash lawyers will also fight for compensation for any property damage, including vehicle repairs or replacement.
If your injuries have caused you to miss work, we’ll work hard to ensure your lost wages are included in your settlement. This also includes diminished future earning capacity, occupational therapy and job retraining if the accident has left you with a physical disability that makes you unable to return to your previous job or prevents you from working in the same capacity.
If you lost a loved one in a multiple car accident, our car crash lawyers will help you file a wrongful death claim and pursue maximum compensation for the totality of the financial and emotional trauma your family has endured. This should include everything from the cost of emergency medical care and funeral expenses to loss of consortium, loss of income and benefits and other associated damages.
