Some common causes of express lane accidents include:
- Sudden lane changes without signaling
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Failing to yield while merging
- Distracted or impaired driving
Victims injured in express lane crashes may face medical bills, lost wages, and other hardships. Seeking legal assistance can help individuals understand their options for compensation.
