Multi-Vehicle Car Accidents in San Jose

Three-vehicle accidents like this one highlight the risks drivers face on busy streets in San Jose. Multi-vehicle collisions often result in injuries because the impact involves several points of contact, increasing the chances of serious harm.

Common reasons why multi-vehicle car accidents occur include:

• Distracted driving – Drivers who text, eat, or use their phones often fail to notice slowing traffic ahead. A moment of distraction can cause a chain-reaction crash.
• Speeding – Excessive speed reduces a driver’s ability to stop in time, especially in heavy traffic. High speeds also magnify the force of impact in multi-car collisions.
• Following too closely – Tailgating leaves little room to react if the car in front brakes suddenly, leading to rear-end collisions that can involve multiple vehicles.
• Failure to yield – Ignoring traffic signs or failing to yield at intersections increases the chance of broadside crashes that affect more than one vehicle.
• Driving under the influence – Alcohol or drugs impair judgment and slow reaction times, making multi-car crashes more likely and more severe.

These crashes often leave victims with mounting medical bills, lost wages, and long-term recovery needs. Working with a diligent car accident attorney ensures that victims understand their rights and can pursue fair compensation for their injuries and damages.
