Common causes of highway accidents include distracted driving, reckless lane changes, speeding, and adverse weather conditions. In many cases, injured victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages if another driver’s negligence played a role in the crash.
Following a highway accident, victims should seek immediate medical attention, report the incident to authorities, and gather evidence when possible. Consulting with a legal professional can also help injured individuals understand their rights and options for seeking financial recovery.
