Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics
The roads in the United States are among the most congested in the world. The country is estimated to have 280 million vehicles and 227.5 million drivers. Every year, over 6 million passenger car accidents occur in the United States. Road traffic accidents are the leading cause of death in the country, killing over 38,000 people each year.
Multi-vehicle accidents are only one sort of automotive accident. When three or more cars are involved in a collision, this sort of accident occurs. They are frequently caused by a “chain-reaction” crash, in which one vehicle collides with another, potentially causing it to collide with additional cars on the road. These accidents commonly occur due to reckless drivers, speeding, drunk drivers, and distracted drivers.

The death of a loved one in a fatal multi-vehicle accident can be emotionally damaging and distressing for the victim’s family. Cases like these can be difficult, which is why hiring an experienced attorney is critical. Your attorney will fight to establish who was at fault for the accident and what it will take to compensate you for your injuries and losses fairly.
Your attorney can also defend your rights if there is insufficient insurance coverage to cover all of the injuries that occurred. This is a common scenario in a multiple-car collision, as multiple victims frequently attempt to access the same insurance policy.
