Multi-Vehicle Accidents in New Hampshire
Multi-vehicle accidents, like the recent crash on Whitehall Rd in Hooksett, often lead to serious injuries and significant roadway disruptions. These types of collisions frequently occur at busy intersections or along highways where traffic flow is high. Factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield often contribute to these incidents.
New Hampshire follows a fault-based system for car accidents, meaning the driver responsible for the crash may be held liable for damages. Victims who suffer injuries in multi-vehicle accidents may be eligible for compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other related costs. However, determining liability in a multi-vehicle crash can be complex, often requiring detailed investigations, witness statements, and traffic camera footage.
To help reduce the risk of such accidents, drivers should remain focused, maintain safe following distances, and be cautious at intersections. Road safety measures, such as improved traffic control systems and signage, can also help prevent these types of collisions.
