Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics
The state’s booming economy is directly responsible for the increase in accidents. Over 3,004 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2010, per statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
It’s impossible to overstate the dangers of California roads. These mishaps could have been avoided if the drivers involved had exercised greater caution. An overwhelming majority of accidents (over 94%, to be exact) have preventable causes that stem from human error.
Injuries sustained in car crashes can cause a range of unpleasant sensations, from those easily bearable to those intolerable. Due to the frequent occurrence of road accidents, some motorists may become desensitized to the risks they face.
A multi-vehicle collision involves three or more cars. A head-on collision can involve up to six vehicles.
According to NHTSA data, there were over 13,000 fatalities in multi-vehicle accidents in 2010.

It’s much less complicated to press charges against both drivers when only two vehicles are involved. Finding a workable solution that benefits all parties when multiple vehicles are involved can be complex.
It gets harder to determine who committed the crime. Many people might have been killed if two or more cars had collided.
Never trust an insurance company to do the right thing after a multi-car accident where the fault is unclear. When determining a claim settlement, insurance companies put profits before policyholders.
