Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

California’s strong economy raises the likelihood of car accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 3,304 fatal car accidents in 2017. Driving anywhere in California is dangerous. On the other hand, collisions can be avoided in most circumstances. Human error is to blame for 94 percent of all accidents.

Traffic accidents can be painful and even life-changing. Because cars are so common in our lives, drivers frequently lose sight of how deadly car accidents can be.

A multi-car accident is typically defined as a collision involving three or more autos. When six or more cars are involved in a collision, the term “pile-up” may describe the scenario.

According to a recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) research, more than 13,000 persons were killed in multi-vehicle collisions involving passenger autos, accounting for more than 40% of motor vehicle accidents each year.

Determining fault in multi-car accidents involving injuries can be more difficult. Victims of multiple-vehicle accidents can benefit from having a skilled and competent personal injury attorney on their side.
