Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

The strong economy in California makes car accidents more likely. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that 3,304 car accidents killed people in 2017. It’s dangerous to drive anywhere in California. On the other hand, most of the time, collisions can be avoided. Mistakes made by people cause almost all accidents (94%).

Accidents on the road can hurt and even change people’s lives. Cars are so common in our lives that drivers often forget how dangerous car accidents can be.

An accident with three or more cars is usually called a “multi-car accident.” When six or more cars crash into each other, the situation may be called a “pile-up.”

A recent study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that more than 13,000 people die in multi-car accidents involving passenger cars. This is more than 40 percent of all car accidents.

When there are injuries and more than one car is involved, it can be harder to figure out who was at fault. People who are hurt in accidents with more than one car can benefit from having a skilled and knowledgeable personal injury lawyer.

To avoid a multi-vehicle collision, it’s best to drive extra-defensively. Slow down and prevent rapid movements when steering and braking. If you know what the weather will be like before you hit the road, you’ll be better able to handle it. Give other drivers enough room as you drive, both in front of you and behind you.
