Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

The consequences can be devastating and life-altering when you’re involved in a car accident. Many motorists aren’t aware of how easily they can cause serious harm because of the frequency of car accidents.

The number of people killed in car accidents in the United States is out of control. According to the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) of the United States Department of Transportation, 33,654 people were killed, and 36,560 were injured in car accidents last year.

Multi-vehicle crashes are shockingly rare when you factor in the number of people killed or injured and the value of the damaged property.

Collisions involving three or more vehicles are referred to as multi-vehicle crashes. Crashing in a chain of unrelated events is not uncommon. With so many people involved, it’s impossible to keep track of everything.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), multi-vehicle collisions account for one out of every four traffic deaths. An estimated 13,000 people per year are killed in car wrecks like this.

There is a legal battle over who is responsible in many multi-vehicle accidents. If you lose a court case, you may lose your right to compensation for your injuries. This is why hiring an experienced car accident lawyer is essential.

Steer into something soft like a bush or a railing instead of another vehicle in the event of a multi-vehicle collision and apply the brakes with caution. You should always be on the lookout after an accident to see if there are any survivors.
