Causes Of Chain-Reaction Accidents

Chain reaction collisions take place when three or more vehicles hit one another in a series of rear-end accidents which are caused because of the force of the first accident.

Chain reaction wrecks are responsible for 15 percent of fatalities – 13,000 casualties a year.

Chain reaction accidents can be complicated because they can involve a variety of drivers who were potentially negligent.

Drivers should always leave a safe following cushion between their car and the car in front of them, so that they can stop in time to avoid unexpected happenings, such as the car hitting the brakes suddenly. A driver who rear-ends the lead car is almost always negligent.

Chain reaction accidents are very dangerous. In a quick second, confusion occurs that ends up leading to multiple crashes.
