Why Multi-Vehicle Crashes Often Lead to More Serious Injuries
Multi-vehicle crashes often lead to more serious injuries because they involve repeated impacts and limited time to react. When several
vehicles are involved, one initial crash can quickly trigger a chain reaction. This increases the force placed on occupants and raises the likelihood of injury, especially in high-traffic areas or near merging lanes.
People involved in these accidents may experience injuries such as neck strain, back pain, broken bones, or head injuries. Some may feel fine at first but notice soreness or stiffness hours later. Medical evaluations are important because they help identify hidden injuries and provide useful records for follow-up care.
