Usually, when crashes involving multiple vehicles occur, many individuals sustain injuries and property damage. If you are a responsible driver, then it is possible that you will not be held responsible for the crash you were injured in. You may qualify for financial compensation for the damages and losses you sustain in relation to your accident. The driver who caused your crash may owe you compensation as well as their insurance company.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that there has been an 11% increase in the number of car crashes in the US since 2015.
