Car Accidents in North Carolina
North Carolina roadways, particularly high-speed corridors like West Brookshire Freeway and Interstate 77, see a significant number of vehicle collisions each year. These major roadways experience heavy congestion, sudden lane changes, and fast-moving traffic, increasing the likelihood of serious crashes. Many accidents on highways are caused by distracted driving, speeding, reckless lane merging, or failure to yield to other vehicles.
Highway crashes often result in severe injuries due to the force of impact at high speeds. Victims may suffer from whiplash, broken bones, head trauma, or internal injuries requiring immediate medical attention. Some injuries lead to long-term rehabilitation, impacting a victim’s ability to work and maintain financial stability. Medical bills, lost wages, and recovery costs can create additional stress for those injured in a crash.
North Carolina law allows accident victims to pursue compensation if another driver’s negligence contributed to their injuries. Establishing fault in highway accidents can be complex and often requires reviewing accident reports, surveillance footage, and witness testimony. Determining liability is essential for ensuring victims receive fair compensation for medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and other damages.
