Dangers of Off-Ramp Collisions in Las Vegas
Off-ramps can be high-risk areas for accidents due to sudden braking, merging vehicles, and drivers misjudging speed when exiting the highway. The US-95 and Decatur Blvd interchange is a frequently traveled exit, increasing the chances of congestion-related incidents, particularly during peak traffic hours.
Many crashes on off-ramps occur when drivers fail to adjust to lower speeds, become distracted, or attempt last-minute lane changes. Authorities urge motorists to remain attentive, reduce speed appropriately, and allow sufficient space between vehicles to prevent rear-end and side-impact collisions.
For individuals injured in traffic accidents, dealing with medical expenses, lost wages, and vehicle repairs can be overwhelming. Seeking professional guidance can help victims navigate legal and financial recovery options.
