Multi-Vehicle Crashes on California Freeways
California freeways, including the 5, experience heavy congestion, particularly during peak commute hours. Multi-vehicle accidents are often caused by factors such as distracted driving, sudden braking, or unsafe lane changes.
Law enforcement agencies typically investigate these incidents to determine liability and contributing factors. Victims of freeway accidents may face medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and time away from work, making it essential to understand legal options.
