Unfortunately, this also makes it a frequent site for traffic collisions, especially in regions like Lodi. High speeds, congestion, and driver distractions are common contributors to accidents on the freeway.
Major injury crashes often result in significant challenges for victims, including long-term medical needs, rehabilitation, and financial burdens.

This can include coverage for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
