Keeping a safe following distance, avoiding distractions like phones, and adjusting speed for traffic and road conditions all help drivers react in time to avoid a collision.

Even at lower speeds, occupants can suffer whiplash, bruising from seatbelts or airbags, and head or neck strain from the sudden stop. More serious impacts can cause broken bones or internal injuries.

Failure to yield, running a red light or stop sign, and misjudging the speed or distance of an oncoming vehicle are common factors in intersection crashes.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Milwaukee, WI
If you're involved in a crash in Milwaukee, start by checking yourself and any passengers for injuries, then move to a safe spot if the vehicle is drivable. Call 911 so officers can document the scene and arrange a tow if needed. Even if you feel fine, it's worth getting checked by a medical professional, since some injuries like whiplash or concussions don't show symptoms right away. Make sure to take photos of the vehicles and intersection if you're able, and get contact information from the other driver and any witnesses. Remember to keep a copy of the police report for your records once it's available.
