Initially, law enforcement indicated that no one died in the accident, but several people sustained serious injuries. However, later, they issued a follow-up press release stating that at least one person died in the accident. It is unclear at this point what caused the accident or how many people were involved.
The Challenges of Multi-Vehicle Accidents
This accident highlights the challenges accident victims face when attempting to recover for their injuries following a Texas car accident involving several vehicles. The more vehicles involved in a car accident, the harder it is for investigators to determine what caused the accident and who was at fault. This uncertainty can make it hard for an accident victim to prove a case against a negligent driver. For example, there will likely be several versions of what led up to the crash, some of which may be self-serving accounts to minimize a driver’s involvement.
However, under Texas law, anyone injured in a car accident can bring a personal injury case against anyone they believe to be responsible for their injuries. Of course, this requires an accident victim to identify the at-fault party and describe what they did to cause the accident. If a police investigation comes up with little more than a question mark, accident victims should consult with a personal injury lawyer to look into the case.
