Highway Speeds Cause Catastrophic Injuries

When we get a call from a client who was in a highway accident, we know that we could be dealing with a case that involves serious injuries. Traveling at highway speeds – which is typically 55 miles per hour and faster – inherently increases the risk of a catastrophic injury occurring in a crash. For this reason, many people who are in highway accidents need immediate medical attention, hospitalization, and continued rehabilitative care.

Catastrophic injuries suffered in highway accidents often include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Multiple broken bones
• Internal organ damage

Did you lose a loved one in a highway accident? You can lean on our attorneys during this difficult time, too. We can manage a wrongful death claim that seeks fair compensation and justice for your lost loved one. While we work diligently, you can grieve with your family.

What to Do After a Highway Accident

Highway accidents place drivers in particularly precarious situations when compared to the average car accident. With so much fast-moving traffic around, it can be extremely dangerous to even exit your car after you are hit on the highway or freeway. You need to be cautious and mindful of your surroundings to proceed safely.

After a highway accident, you should:

• Move your vehicle to a safe location that is well away from moving traffic. Shoulders are better than the middle of the highway, but using an exit is even safer.
• Only exit your vehicle when it is safe to do so. Check multiple times for oncoming traffic before proceeding.
• Stand as far away from the highway as you can without putting yourself in more danger. Oftentimes, the most dangerous place after a highway accident is within one of the damaged vehicles.
• Call 911, even if no one is injured. Highway patrol officers are required to control traffic and help prevent subsequent accidents.
