Sorting Out Fault in a Multi-Vehicle Crash

A pileup on Colorado Highway 67 or Colorado Highway 115 is not one event. It is a series of impacts, each caused by a decision a driver made in the seconds before and after the first collision. We break the crash into its component parts: who hit whom, in what order, and why.
Fault often shifts across the chain. The driver who caused the initial collision may not be responsible for a later impact if a following driver was speeding or distracted. We work through each link separately so that liability lands on the right party, or parties, rather than defaulting to whoever is easiest to blame.
Multiple insurers usually means multiple adjusters, each trying to minimize their own insured's share. We handle that negotiation and, when needed, pursue claims against more than one policy so you are not left absorbing costs that belong to someone else.
Building the Sequence
We look at the sequence of impacts, each vehicle's damage pattern, event data, video, witness accounts, following distances, and road conditions at the time. Damage location and severity on each vehicle often tells us who struck whom and in what order, which matters when insurers try to pin everything on one driver.
On stretches like Main Street or East 3rd Street, intersection cameras, nearby business footage, or dashcams can place vehicles before the first impact. Florence Police Department and Fremont County Sheriff's Office reports, along with witness statements, help fill in gaps that physical evidence alone cannot answer.
- Photos of all vehicles involved, not just your own

Florence Multi-Vehicle Accident Lawyers FAQ
How do you figure out who caused what in a pileup?
We reconstruct the sequence using vehicle damage patterns, witness accounts, video if available, and police reports. Each impact is analyzed on its own, since the driver who caused the first collision may not be responsible for later ones.
What if more than one driver was at fault?
That's common in chain-reaction crashes. We pursue claims against each responsible driver's insurance so the financial responsibility is divided according to what actually happened, not just assigned to one party.
Do I need to deal with every other driver's insurance company myself?
No. We communicate with all involved insurers on your behalf so you are not stuck negotiating with multiple adjusters while recovering from your injuries.
What if I was stopped and got hit from behind in the pileup?
Your damage pattern and position in the chain matter a great deal here. We use that evidence to show you were not at fault for the collision that struck you.
Where would my case be handled if it goes to court?
Cases from the Florence area are filed in Fremont County Combined Courts in Cañon City. We handle the local court process and keep you updated throughout.
