Injury Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is known for heavy traffic, contributing to over 52,000 car accidents annually. Multi-vehicle collisions, involving two or more vehicles, are particularly concerning due to their complexity and higher risk of severe injuries. In 2022, the city saw 312 traffic fatalities, a 5% increase from the previous year. While specific statistics on multi-vehicle accidents aren’t available, their impact on injury and fatality rates is significant.
If involved in an accident, it’s crucial to seek medical attention, document the scene, and report it to authorities. If injured due to someone else’s negligence, consulting an attorney can help determine if you have a personal injury claim. In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is typically two years. Most cases settle outside of court, but if not, they may go to trial. Compensation is based on medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related damages.
