Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics
The number of traffic fatalities in the state is rising as the state’s economy improves. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 3,304 people died in car accidents last year.
California has some of the most dangerous roads in the country. The drivers could have done more to prevent these collisions. 94% of accidents are the result of a mistake made by a human being.
Injuries sustained in a car accident can be life-altering or even fatal, depending on the severity of the crash. People are more likely to lose sight of the dangers involved in driving because of the frequency with which such incidents take place.
A multi-vehicle accident occurs when three or more vehicles collide. A head-on collision can cause a multi-vehicle pileup.
According to a new NHTSA study, over 13,000 people were killed in multi-vehicle collisions in 2010.
Los Angeles County Car Accident Lawyers
Determining a verdict is much easier when there are only two people involved in a two-car accident. When more than one vehicle is involved in an accident, the investigation becomes more difficult.
In such a scenario, figuring out who’s at fault becomes more difficult. More than one vehicle colliding could have resulted in many injuries.
A multi-vehicle collision may not be the best time to put your faith in an insurance company. Insurance companies prioritize their own financial interests over those of their customers, so don’t put your faith in a quick resolution of your claim.
