Auto accidents are frightening when they happen. However, the results can be deadly when more than two cars are involved in a crash. Vehicles engaged in multi-car crashes can be hit from different directions or pushed into oncoming traffic. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says multi-vehicle crashes caused 17,083 fatalities nationwide in 2020.

Multi-car crashes can happen on almost any busy highway or road. And the resulting damage caused by a multi-car accident can leave people with painful and lifelong injuries.

Rear-end crashes are one of the most common causes of multi-car accidents. If a car stops abruptly due to a red light, stop sign, slow traffic, or to avoid hitting another vehicle in the road, the drivers behind may not have enough time to stop safely. Drivers traveling in the lane behind the stopped vehicle may hit the rear of the car in front of them. Drivers can cause an accident if they swerve into adjacent lanes, counter traffic, or parked vehicles trying to avoid a crash.

A rear-end multi-car crash can be especially devastating when construction vehicles or commercial trucks are involved. Semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and large commercial vehicles take longer to stop and can cause extensive damage if they hit another car.

Sometimes, a rear-end crash pushes a vehicle into a busy intersection, where it can be hit by one or more cars. Other times, a car that has been rear-ended may spin, hitting other vehicles, parked cars, or other road obstacles.

Beyond rear-end crashes, multi-car accidents may be caused by:

• Drivers who do not yield while merging on a highway or busy street.
• Reckless or careless drivers who weave in and out of traffic or change lanes while driving through an intersection.
• Drivers who lose control of their car while traveling at excessive speeds.
• Sideswipe accidents
• Running red lights or stop signs.
• Cars that switch lanes without checking their blind spots.
• Drivers making left-hand turns across busy intersections.
• Limited visibility
• Wet roads
• Distracted drivers who text or make calls while operating their vehicle.

Multi-car crashes are dangerous. A car that has been hit from behind could be pushed into a busy intersection and struck multiple times by oncoming traffic. Drivers struck by other vehicles could lose control and hit poles, guardrails, or other cars.

Determining who is at fault for a Miami multi-car crash can be complicated. Often, the vehicle which caused the collision is responsible. However, that may not always be the case. It is possible for drivers to share responsibility. While waiting at a red light, if your car was struck from behind and you hit the vehicle in front of you, the driver who initially hit your car may be responsible. However, if you were not stopped at a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of you, you could share some responsibility for the crash.
