Traffic Accidents on E Independence Blvd
E Independence Blvd is one of Charlotte’s busiest thoroughfares, frequently experiencing congestion due to its high volume of commuters, businesses, and intersections. Crashes on this roadway are often caused by speeding, distracted driving, and sudden lane changes, making it a hotspot for accidents.
Even a seemingly minor collision can result in significant injuries, such as whiplash, concussions, fractures, or internal trauma. These injuries can lead to costly medical bills, rehabilitation expenses, and lost wages for victims. North Carolina’s contributory negligence rule makes it particularly challenging for victims to seek compensation, as even a small percentage of fault can impact a claim.
For those involved in an accident, seeking immediate medical care, documenting the scene, and understanding legal options are critical steps to securing fair compensation.
