While it would seem that suffering personal injury in two separate accidents would be rare, it is actually surprising how frequently a Buffaloresident can become involved in multiple accidents. While having been involved in multiple accidents complicates a personal injury lawsuit, there is no bar to pursuing both claims.
The primary difficulty with pursuing such claims is that the defendants in each case will frequently point to the other accident as the cause of your injuries. As a result, great care must be taken to ensure that your medical condition following each of the accidents is fully documented and explored. This is especially true of the time frame between the two accidents, when the second accident can clearly be excluded as a cause of the injuries, and a lack of complaints regarding body parts injured in the second accident can help distinguish the cause of those injuries.
