Highway Accidents in California
Highways like US-101 experience frequent traffic collisions due to high speeds, merging traffic, and congestion, particularly in areas with heavy commuter and commercial vehicle activity. Accidents on highways often result in serious injuries, as vehicles travel at higher speeds and have less reaction time to avoid sudden obstacles.
Common causes of highway crashes include distracted driving, aggressive lane changes, tailgating, and driver fatigue. When accidents occur on high-speed roads, victims often suffer severe injuries, vehicle damage, and financial burdens related to medical treatment and lost wages.
For those involved in highway accidents, seeking medical attention and consulting with a legal professional can be crucial in understanding their rights and next steps.
