The fact that there are only two parties involved makes it easier to prosecute a two-vehicle collision. When more than one vehicle is involved in the collision, the situation becomes more challenging.

It’s more difficult to identify the responsible party. If multiple cars had collided, numerous people might have been hurt.

You might not want to put your trust in an insurance company because figuring out who was at fault in a collision involving multiple vehicles can be challenging.
