Injury Risks on Houston’s Highways
Houston’s highways, including Interstate 45, are known for heavy traffic and frequent accidents. With thousands of vehicles traveling at high speeds, even a minor collision can result in serious injuries. Drivers must remain vigilant, as congested conditions, distracted driving, and aggressive maneuvers often contribute to crashes on major roadways.
Accidents on highways pose unique dangers due to the force of impact and the increased risk of secondary collisions. Vehicles traveling at high speeds may struggle to stop in time to avoid a crash, leading to chain-reaction incidents. Additionally, nighttime driving increases the likelihood of accidents due to reduced visibility, driver fatigue, and impaired motorists on the road.
Those injured in highway crashes may face costly medical treatments, lost income, and emotional distress in the aftermath. Understanding available legal options can help victims seek compensation for their medical expenses and other losses.
