Two-Vehicle Crash Statistics
California has a high rate of fatal vehicle accidents. A decade ago, it was undeniable that California’s population had exploded. In recent years, the number of people driving themselves to their destinations has increased.
Last year, 3,563 people were killed in car accidents in California, according to the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). As a result of the fatal accidents in California, thousands of people are mourning and dealing with new losses.
In addition, the number of people injured in car accidents in Santa Barbara has increased. In 2016, the number of car accidents in Santa Barbara County increased by 5% over the previous year.
This collision involves a large number of vehicles. The term “multi-vehicle collision” is used when three or more vehicles collide. As a result, more insurers are involved, including those with high liability.
Santa Barbara County Car Accident Lawyers
Some people prefer to handle personal injury claims independently rather than hire a lawyer. It is, however, critical to be aware of the potential risks. Without legal representation, injury victims receive lower settlements than those who do.
Collisions involving more than two vehicles are more difficult to resolve than collisions involving just two vehicles. Victims may find it difficult to deal with a multi-vehicle crash lawsuit because of the pain and suffering they have endured since the accident.
