Getting a conviction is much simpler when there are only two people in a two-car accident. Accidents involving multiple vehicles are more difficult to resolve.

Identifying who is at fault becomes more difficult in this situation. Many people could have been hurt if more than one vehicle had collided.

You may not want to trust an insurance company if you’re involved in a multi-vehicle collision. You shouldn’t put your faith in a quick resolution of your claim because insurance companies put their financial interests ahead of the interests of their customers.
