Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

Accidents involving vehicles are the third biggest cause of death and disability in the United States, despite numerous public awareness campaigns, regulatory initiatives, and other safety measures.

According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), about 200,000 crashes a year result in a fatality or serious injury for someone. Up to 4,000 people are killed, and 194,000 are injured every year due to these tragedies, leaving victims and their loved ones devastated.

More than 55,000 traffic accidents were reported in Los Angeles in 2016. In other words, one person dies in a Los Angeles traffic accident every 40 hours.

There are several types of traffic accidents. This type of accident usually occurs when three or more cars are involved in the accident. They commonly stem from a “chain-reaction” crash, wherein one vehicle will bump into another, potentially causing it to crash into other cars on the roadway.
