Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

As the state’s economy expands, so does the number of accidents on its roads. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 3,304 people lost their lives in car accidents in 2010.

Being a driver in California is extremely risky. If the drivers had taken extra precautions, these wrecks could have been avoided. Human error contributes to more than 94% of all accidents.

Injuries sustained in a car crash can range from being extremely unpleasant to potentially fatal. It’s easy for motorists to forget how risky the road really is given how often accidents occur.

When three or more vehicles are involved in an accident, it is considered a multi-vehicle accident. A six-car pileup is possible after a head-on collision.

According to a new report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 13,000 people were killed in multi-vehicle accidents in 2010.

Sacramento County Car Accident Lawyers

If there are two vehicles involved in an accident, both drivers can be held legally responsible. Accidents involving several vehicles are more challenging to resolve.

It’s more challenging to identify the responsible party or parties. Many people could have been hurt if two or more cars had collided.

Putting your faith in an insurance company could be a bad idea if it is unclear who caused a multi-car accident. The insurance company cares more about their bottom line than they do about helping you get your money as quickly as possible, so don’t put your faith in them to handle your claim.
