Dangers of Interstate Crashes in Columbus
High-speed collisions on highways like I-71 can be particularly dangerous due to the volume of traffic and limited time for drivers to react. Factors such as congestion, sudden braking, and driver distraction often contribute to accidents in these areas.
Even crashes that initially seem minor can result in injuries such as whiplash, head trauma, or back injuries, which may require long-term medical care. Victims of highway crashes often face financial stress from medical bills and vehicle repairs, making it important to seek proper assistance.
