A Proven Record of Success in Complex Car Accident Cases
In the United States, more than a third of all car accidents involve multiple vehicles. A multi-vehicle accident is when two or more vehicles are involved in an accident and is often referred to as a “pile-up.” Pile-up accidents can cause severe injuries and a long, complicated litigation process. If you were injured in a multi-vehicle accident or if your loved one was killed in a multiple-vehicle pile-up, it’s important that you seek competent legal representation to help ensure that your rights are protected.

Common Causes of Multi-Vehicle Accidents
Like any type of automobile accident, multi-vehicle accidents are commonly caused by inattention, negligence, and reckless driving behavior.
Some of the most common causes include:
- Distracted Driving: It is incredibly easy for motorists to become distracted when driving. However, distracted driving is simply never acceptable. Some common distractions include checking a mobile phone, changing the radio station, or fiddling with the air conditioning or heater. All it takes is one glance away from the road for an accident to happen.
- Rear-End Accidents: Rear-end accidents, in which one driver runs into the back of another vehicle (often because the rear driver was not paying attention or because the front driver stopped suddenly or was missing taillights), are a common cause of pile-ups. All it takes is one vehicle rear-ending another to create a chain reaction that involves several vehicles.
- Drunk Driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is a crime in Pennsylvania, yet many people still make the choice to get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol and other drugs. Intoxication slows a person’s reflexes, impairs their decision-making skills, and leads to fatigue, all of which can contribute to an intoxicated person causing a serious accident.
- Poor Weather Conditions: Inclement weather is also another big contributor to these types of accidents. Slippery roads as a result of rain or snow, low-visibility, and drivers not being careful can cause a ripple effect of dozens of cars colliding—with dangerous or fatal consequences.
Multi-Vehicle Accident Damage
Unfortunately, multi-vehicle accidents tend to result in devastating or even fatal consequences for motorists and their passengers. Steel, glass, plastic, and other materials/foreign objects can wreak havoc on vehicles and the people inside them. A vehicle can be hit several times in succession, by multiple vehicles, from all different angles, leading to horrible damage. Gasoline can leak from vehicles and engines can set ablaze, causing even more destruction.
Some of the most common injuries arising from these types of accidents include:
- Serious cuts, scrapes, bruises, and abrasions
- Friction burns/road rash
- Broken bones/fractures
- Accidental amputation
- Head and traumatic brain injuries
- Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries
- Whiplash
- Internal organ damage
- Torn ligaments
- Soft tissue damage
These and other accident-related injuries typically require emergency medical attention and ongoing care. Victims may be unable to return to work while they recover or, in some cases, indefinitely. This can add serious financial stress on individuals and families already navigating a very difficult and challenging time.

I have a friend who sought help from Fellerman & Ciarimboli and said they were very nice and helpful. So when I needed assistance, they were the first ones I thought of, and gave them a call. I was connected to Attorney Molly Clark, who made a significant impact. Her comforting personality created a welcoming environment during our interactions, turning what could have been a somber experience into one filled with positivity. Our upbeat conversations, in contrast to the challenging situation, improved my well-being.
What truly won me over was Molly's commitment to keeping me informed about the progress of my situation. Whenever I called her with questions, she promptly provided answers, ensuring I had the information I needed when I needed it. Working with Fellerman & Ciarimboli was a positive experience given the circumstances I was facing. I highly recommend Attorney Molly and the firm to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate assistance during challenging times.

There are no adequate words to convey to you, Mike, and Ed how grateful our family is for all of your hard work in helping us through the most difficult time of our lives. Your commitment to justice is unlike anything we have ever witnessed. Our tragedy became your tragedy. The three of you have become part of our family.
Harry, you explained everything necessary in terms which were comprehensible and helpful to us to better understand all that was presented. We are so grateful for that.
The compassion shown to us by not only the three of you, but everyone to whom we encountered at Fellerman & Ciarimboli was off the charts and so sincere.
We will grieve our profound loss for the rest of our lives, but all of you helped to make it a bit easier, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
God's Blessings to you and your family.

I was in a bad accident and I had my daughter in the car with me. I highly recommend this firm.

Mr Messinger is very professional and knowledgeable. We sat for hours for the mediation and he fought to get me the best settlement- Enide Jerome
