Single-Vehicle Accidents in Wisconsin
Single-vehicle crashes, like the recent incident on Old Hwy 12 in Whitewater, can result from various factors, including driver distraction, speeding, adverse weather conditions, or mechanical issues. Rural roads, such as Old Hwy 12, often have limited lighting and sharp curves, increasing the risk of losing control.
Injuries in single-vehicle accidents can range from minor bruises to severe trauma, especially if the vehicle rolls over or strikes a fixed object like a tree or guardrail. Even in cases where only one vehicle is involved, drivers and passengers may still be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
Seeking medical attention after any crash is essential, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Those involved in single-vehicle accidents should also review their insurance policies and, if necessary, seek legal guidance to ensure they receive the support they need.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a vehicle accident, it’s important to understand your rights. Consulting with a legal professional can help you navigate the claims process and secure the resources necessary for recovery. Stay safe and drive cautiously.
