Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

The number of traffic accidents increases as the state’s economy grows. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 3,304 people were killed in vehicle accidents in 2010.

In California, driving a car can be extremely dangerous. The drivers could have done more to avoid these collisions. A human error causes more than 94% of all accidents.

Depending on the severity, a car accident injury can be painful or even life-threatening. Because car accidents happen so frequently, it’s easy for drivers to lose sight of their dangers.

When three or more vehicles collide, it is called a multi-vehicle accident. A pileup can involve up to six cars when they collide head-on.

According to a new NHTSA study, in 2010, over 13,000 people died in multi-vehicle collisions.

San Diego County Car Accident Lawyers

The prosecution of a two-vehicle crash is made more accessible by the fact that only two people are involved. The situation becomes more complicated when more than one vehicle is involved in a collision.

It’s more challenging to figure out who’s to blame. Many people could have been hurt if more than one vehicle had collided.

Because determining fault in a multi-vehicle collision can be difficult, you may not want to put your trust in an insurance company. Insurance companies set their own financial well-being ahead of the interests of their customers, so don’t expect your claim to be resolved quickly.
