How California Law Assigns Fault in Chain-Reaction Accidents
Primary Liability Factors in Multi-Car Crashes
In California, everyone involved in a crash may have some responsibility under the state’s pure comparative negligence rules (Civil Code § 1714). Typically, the person who starts the chain reaction is mostly at fault, but other drivers could also share liability for reasons like:
Not keeping enough distance between cars (Vehicle Code § 21703)
Speeding or driving while distracted
Failing to adjust to road conditions
