Being behind the wheel of a car in California is incredibly dangerous. These collisions could have been avoided if the drivers involved had done more. More than 94% of all accidents are due to human error.

Depending on the severity, a car accident injury can be excruciatingly painful or even fatal. It’s easy for drivers to overlook the dangers of driving because of the frequency with which accidents occur.

Multi-vehicle accidents are those in which there are three or more vehicles involved. A head-on collision can cause a six-car pileup.

It is much easier to prosecute two drivers in a two-vehicle accident. It is more difficult to resolve multi-vehicle accidents.

Finding the person or persons responsible is more difficult. If two or more cars collided, it’s possible that many people would have been hurt.

If it is difficult to determine who was at fault in a multi-vehicle collision, you may not want to put your faith in an insurance company. Don’t put your faith in an insurance company’s ability to quickly resolve your claim because they put their own financial interests above those of their customers.
