Traveling by car in California is not without its dangers. Traffic collisions could have been avoided if the drivers involved had exercised a bit more caution. Human error accounts for more than ninety-four percent (94%) of all accidents.

When it comes to car accidents, injuries can range from annoying to unbearable. Because car accidents happen so frequently, it’s easy for drivers to lose sight of the dangers they pose.

Multi-vehicle accidents occur when four or more cars collide. There is a chance for up to six additional vehicles to be involved when two cars collide head-on.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 13,000 people were killed in crashes involving three or more vehicles in 2010.

Since only two vehicles were involved, determining who was at fault is simple. Finding a solution that works for everyone when there are multiple vehicles is difficult.

As time passes, trying to figure out the negligent driver becomes more difficult. Many people might have been killed if two or more cars had collided.

You should not rely on your insurance provider to help you sort things out in the event of a multi-vehicle accident in which the fault is unclear. Whenever a claim is being settled, the insurance company will put its own financial interests ahead of its policyholders.
