Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

As the state’s economy grows, so does the number of traffic accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2010, approximately 3,304 people were killed in car accidents.

In California, cars can be deadly, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the roads. Drivers could have done more to prevent these collisions. Almost all accidents, 94% of them, are caused by human error.

Depending on the accident’s severity, a car accident injury can be excruciatingly painful or even fatal. Because car accidents happen so frequently, it’s easy for drivers to lose sight of the dangers they pose.

When three or more vehicles collide, it is referred to as a multi-vehicle collision. A pileup can occur when two vehicles collide head-on, involving up to six vehicles.

According to a new NHTSA study, more than 13,000 people were killed in multi-vehicle collisions in 2010.

Los Angeles County Car Accident Lawyers With a Winning Track Record

Because there are only two people involved in a two-vehicle collision, it is easier to prosecute. Multiple-vehicle collisions are more difficult to resolve.

It’s more difficult to pinpoint who is to blame. If more than one vehicle collided, many people could have been injured.

If you’re involved in a multi-vehicle collision, you might not want to put your faith in an insurance company. Insurance companies prioritize their own financial interests over their customers, so don’t expect your claim to be resolved quickly.
