It’s easy to press charges against both drivers when only two cars are involved. It can be challenging to find a resolution that satisfies all parties when there are multiple cars involved.

It gets harder to determine who committed the crime. There could have been a lot of casualties if two or more cars had collided.

In the event of a multiple-vehicle collision in which fault is unclear, you should not put your trust in an insurance company. Insurance companies prioritize their own profits over policyholders’ needs when reaching settlements.
