Two Major I-35 Crashes in Two Days Injured 15 and Killed One

 Posted on April 08, 2025 in Car Accidents

I-35 is a major interstate running from Laredo, TX to Duluth, MN. In Texas, this highway goes through several major cities, including San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, and Fort Worth. Denton, TX is northwest of Dallas and was the scene of two major multi-vehicle crashes on April 1st and 2nd, 2025. The first, involving seven vehicles, including an RV, killed one person and injured six more. The April 2nd crash required six ambulances to transport nine injured people to the hospital. Two of those people had life-threatening injuries.

When only two vehicles are involved in a car wreck, determining why it happened and who caused it is relatively straightforward. In a multiple-vehicle accident, those jobs are much harder. Still, you cannot file a claim seeking compensation until you know who was responsible for causing your injuries. Our experienced Comal County, TX personal injury lawyer can investigate on your behalf and work to help you collect maximum compensation.

How Is a Multiple-Vehicle Wreck Investigation Handled?

When seven vehicles pile up, it does not happen all at once. Most of these collisions are caused by a chain reaction, with one crash leading to another and then another. Each separate wreck has to be investigated. Whatever or whoever causes the first impact is often responsible for all the others, but not always.

For example, four cars may crash and come to a stop. A distracted driver may not see the pileup and hit one or more of the first four cars. In that example, the distracted driver probably shares the fault.

Each separate impact on your vehicle can cause new property damage and injuries or make previous ones worse. That makes your insurance claims significantly more complicated.

Why Are Multi-Vehicle Accident Claims Complicated?

If seven vehicles were involved in your crash, at least seven insurance companies are also involved. None of them want to pay your claim. To get compensation, you need proof that the company’s policyholder directly caused your accident, injuries, property damage, and other losses. If your car was hit several times, each insurer will probably try to blame someone else for your damages. You need an aggressive lawyer to advocate for your best interests if you hope to receive as much compensation as you deserve.

We will investigate your accident, gathering the evidence we need to prove who caused it. We will add up your financial and non-financial losses and negotiate with as many insurance companies as we need to if more than one party shares fault and liability. If necessary, we are ready to file a civil lawsuit on your behalf and will represent you in court.
