Safety on Interstate Highways
High-speed travel and high traffic volumes on interstates like I-65 increase the likelihood of collisions. Accidents at highway splits or merges often occur due to sudden lane changes, speeding, or driver inattention. This underscores the importance of maintaining safe speeds, using turn signals, and avoiding distractions.
If you or someone you know has been involved in a highway accident, seeking medical evaluation and consulting legal professionals can help address injuries and navigate insurance claims.
