Car Accident Attorney: Understanding Highway Accidents
Highways can be dangerous places, even for the most cautious drivers. High speeds and heavy traffic increase the risk of serious accidents. Here are some common causes of highway accidents:
- Distracted driving: Even a moment of inattention can have serious consequences at highway speeds.
- Speeding: Excessive speed reduces a driver’s ability to react to unexpected situations.
- Tailgating: Following too closely leaves little room for error and increases the risk of rear-end collisions.
- Improper lane changes: Failing to signal or check blind spots can lead to dangerous collisions.
- Drowsy driving: Fatigue can impair a driver’s judgment and reaction time.
If you’ve been injured in a highway accident caused by another driver’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
