Commentary:
Chain reaction accidents can be very complicated situations for anybody involved. The State of Texas uses a comparative fault system to assign liability in an accident, and it will probably come into play with an accident like this one. Comparative fault is a determination of responsibility, and repairs based on a percentage point value. This comes especially in handy in cases where there are multiple vehicles and multiple victims. Understanding comparative fault and how it relates to pileup crashes can help simply a very complex situation, and ensures that the proper parties are held accountable.
