Off-Ramp Collision Risks on Chattanooga Highways
Crashes at interstate exits, such as the southbound ramp from I-75 to Shallowford Rd, are often linked to changes in speed, sudden merging, or drivers misjudging traffic flow. In Chattanooga, high-traffic exits near commercial centers like this one can be particularly hazardous.
Such off-ramp crashes often involve rear-end or side-swipe impacts, which may cause injuries requiring extended medical care. Prompt medical attention and careful monitoring are important, even for victims who initially feel only minor discomfort.
Documentation of the crash scene, contact with law enforcement, and securing a copy of the incident report can make a significant difference during insurance and recovery processes.
Victims may also benefit from legal guidance, especially in cases involving unclear fault or multiple parties.
