Commentary:
An accident involving just two vehicles can be infuriating and confusing, but when you factor in a chain-reaction accident with more than two vehicles, things get even more complicated. There are often multiple theories as to what may have caused the accident, and some of these theories often contradict one another, boiling a major accident down to a he-said-she-said scenario that bogs things down even further. For these situations, the State of North Carolina defers to a system of contributory negligence, wherein a person makes a claim against a negligent driver, but cannot be awarded damages if their own negligence caused the accident. Deciphering this kind of red tape often requires an experienced attorney, in addition to leveling the playing field of experience in handling accident cases.
