FATAL MULTI-VEHICLE CRASH STATISTICS

Car accidents can have far-reaching consequences. Because car accidents are so common, many people are unaware of how dangerous and easily they can cause serious injuries.

The number of fatal car accidents involving drivers and passengers in America is alarmingly high. According to the US Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), 36,560 people were injured, and 33,654 died in car accidents in 2018.

Multiple-vehicle accidents are extremely rare in terms of the number of people killed or injured and the amount of property destroyed.

When three or more vehicles collide, the collision is known as a multi-vehicle crash. A chain-reaction crash is the most common cause. Situations like this are difficult to control because so many people are involved.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), multi-vehicle collisions are responsible for one out of every four traffic fatalities. According to estimates, 13,000 people die in car accidents each year.

Legal disputes over fault are common in multi-vehicle accidents. You may lose your right to receive compensation for your injuries if you lose a court case. This is why you need an experienced car accident lawyer on your side.

If you are involved in a multi-vehicle collision, slow down and steer toward something soft, such as a bush or a railing, rather than another vehicle. Keep an eye out for anyone who appears to be dazed after an accident.
