Preventing Nighttime Crashes in North Carolina
Accidents during early morning hours, like the one at Research Dr and W W T Harris Blvd, often stem from factors such as reduced visibility, fatigue, or impaired driving. In Charlotte, areas with dense development and higher nighttime traffic can present increased risks for injury-causing collisions.
Driving at night requires heightened caution. Visibility is significantly reduced, and reaction times can be impaired due to lower lighting and potential fatigue. Crashes that occur during off-peak hours may also involve drivers under the influence or those unfamiliar with the area.
North Carolina law supports victims of injury crashes by allowing them to seek compensation when negligence is a contributing factor. This could include recovering costs for emergency care, follow-up treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Following any crash, it is important for those involved to gather information, receive medical attention, and document the incident.
