Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

The state’s booming economy is directly correlated with the increasing traffic accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports 3,304 people lost their lives in traffic-related fatalities in 2010.

To drive in California is to expose oneself to danger. These collisions could have been avoided if the drivers had been more careful. A staggering 94% or more of all accidents can be traced back to avoidable human error.

Injuries sustained in a car crash can be excruciating, depending on how severely the vehicle is harmed. Because of how frequently accidents occur, it’s easy for drivers to become desensitized to the risks they face.

If three or more vehicles are involved in a collision, it is considered a multi-vehicle accident. Following a crash, as many as six cars may become entangled in the debris.

New data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that more than 13,000 people were killed in 2010 due to multi-vehicle accidents.

If only two vehicles are involved, it’s easy to press charges against both drivers. Finding a solution that will work for everyone can be challenging whenever several cars are concerned.

The difficulty of identifying the perpetrator increases. Many people could have been hurt if two or more cars had collided.

It’s not a good idea to rely on an insurance company if you’re involved in a multi-car accident where the fault is unclear. Insurance companies prioritize their bottom lines over their policyholders when deciding how much to pay out.
