Highway Accidents in North Carolina
Highways like I-440 are frequent sites for collisions due to high speeds, merging traffic, and congestion, particularly near major intersections such as Six Forks Rd. Accidents on highways can occur due to factors such as distracted driving, reckless lane changes, or poor visibility, leading to injuries that may require medical treatment.
Even minor collisions on highways can result in significant injuries, including concussions, whiplash, and fractures. Victims of such crashes often face financial burdens due to medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages. North Carolina’s contributory negligence law makes it challenging for victims to recover compensation if they are found even slightly at fault for the accident. This makes gathering evidence, such as police reports and witness statements, essential for protecting their rights.
For individuals involved in a highway collision, seeking medical care, documenting the accident scene, and exploring available legal options are critical steps toward ensuring proper recovery.
