Multi-vehicle accidents are a common occurrence in Southern Ohio during the winter months. A sudden snow squall or icy road conditions can lead to an accident involving three or more vehicles. While it is easy to simply blame these accidents on the weather, many times someone who was driving carelessly is at fault.
With the holiday travel season happening right now throughout Ohio more people are on our roads than usual. A lot of those drivers are from out-of-state, either passing through, or here to visit family and friends who live in Ohio. It’s important to be even more careful when driving right now because of weather and visitors.
Here are links to a couple recent news stories on multi-vehicle accidents that have already happened this year in Ohio:
It’s still technically only Fall in Ohio, so there’s a lot of winter driving left to go through over the next few months. Additional multi-vehicle accidents are likely to occur.
Multi-vehicle accidents create a lot of complexity when it comes to determining fault, especially when weather is involved. Despite weather conditions, if another driver is being negligent, they could be responsible for causing the accident and any injuries or damage to property that occur as a result. Sometimes, in multi-vehicle accidents, more than one driver can be at fault.
