Interstate Accidents in Alabama
Highway crashes, especially on major interstates like I-85, often result in severe injuries due to high speeds and heavy traffic volume. Alabama’s interstates are crucial travel routes, but they also see a high number of collisions, particularly near busy exits and merging lanes.
Common causes of highway accidents include speeding, driver fatigue, distracted driving, and sudden lane changes. Nighttime driving, like in this recent crash, can further increase risks due to reduced visibility and driver reaction times. When accidents occur on busy roadways, secondary collisions and traffic congestion can also become significant concerns.
For those involved in a crash, navigating the aftermath can be overwhelming. From medical expenses to vehicle repairs, the impact of an accident extends beyond the scene itself. Seeking medical attention and understanding your legal options are important steps toward recovery.
