FAQ
Q: Why can injuries show up hours or days after an accident?
A: Some injuries such as whiplash, concussions, or soft tissue strain may not appear immediately. It’s important to monitor symptoms and seek evaluation if pain or discomfort arises after the crash.
Q: Why do crashes happen so often at residential intersections?
A: These intersections can have limited visibility, unclear right-of-way, or turning traffic that increases the risk of collisions. Distractions and speeding can worsen those risks in neighborhood zones.
