Navigating Shared Fault After a Multi-Vehicle Crash in Pennsylvania
Any multi-vehicle crash, like this one on Route 443, requires a thorough investigation to determine the actions of both drivers and the resulting allocation of fault. A legal analysis in this kind of accident must establish whose negligence or combination of negligence caused the injuries.
In Pennsylvania, the right to recover compensation is governed by the modified comparative negligence rule. This rule is crucial in multi-vehicle accidents because an injured party can only collect damages if they are found to be 50% or less responsible for the crash. If a person is found 51% or more at fault, they are legally barred from recovering any compensation from the other party. If they are found 50% or less at fault, their total compensation is simply reduced by their assigned percentage of fault.
