Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Rockville, MD: Facts and What to Do

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that multi-vehicle or chain reaction accidents are particularly dangerous, causing over 13,000 deaths annually—more than 40% of all motor vehicle fatalities. These crashes, which commonly occur on highways and major roads during adverse weather, are typically more lethal than accidents involving one or two vehicles.

If you are involved in a multi-vehicle accident, keep these tips in mind:

  • Prioritize safety by checking for injuries and moving to a safe location if possible
  • Call 911 immediately
  • Exchange contact information with all parties involved
  • Avoid admitting fault or apologizing, as this could affect legal outcomes
  • Seek medical treatment as soon as possible, even if you don’t think you’re injured

Due to their complexity, multi-vehicle accidents often present unique challenges in determining fault, as multiple parties may share responsibility. Given these complications, consulting with an auto accident attorney promptly is crucial to protect your interests.
