Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics
As the state’s economy grows, so does the number of traffic accidents in that state. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 3,304 people were killed in car accidents in 2010.
In California, driving a car is extremely risky. The drivers could have done more to avoid these accidents. Human error is to blame for nearly all accidents, with 94% of them.
A car accident injury can be extremely painful or even fatal, depending on the severity of the accident. Because car accidents happen so frequently, it’s easy for drivers to lose sight of the dangers they pose.
When three or more automobiles collide, the result is a multi-vehicle accident. A head-on collision can result in a six-car pileup.
According to a new NHTSA study, over 13,000 people were killed in multi-vehicle collisions in 2010.
Kern County Car Accident Lawyers
Because there are only two people at fault in a two-car accident, bringing charges against the responsible parties is much simpler. Accidents involving more than one vehicle are more dangerous because the situation becomes more complicated.
It’s more difficult to figure out who’s to blame in this situation. Many people could have been hurt if more than one vehicle had collided.
You may not want to put your trust in an insurance company if you’re involved in a multi-vehicle collision. Insurance companies put their own financial interests ahead of those of their customers, so don’t put your trust in a quick resolution of your claim.
