Highway Accidents in West Virginia
Interstate highways like I-79 see a high volume of daily traffic, increasing the likelihood of accidents, particularly in areas with heavy congestion, sudden lane changes, or adverse weather conditions. Speeding, distracted driving, and roadway hazards are common contributors to highway collisions, many of which result in serious injuries.
For accident victims, the aftermath can be overwhelming, with medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and time away from work adding to the stress. West Virginia law allows injured victims to seek compensation when another driver’s negligence plays a role in a crash. This can include coverage for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages.
