Responding to Highway Collisions
Collisions on highways like I-81 can be especially dangerous due to the high speeds and heavy traffic often involved. Even minor crashes on busy roadways can result in serious injuries, including whiplash, concussions, or more severe conditions like broken bones or internal injuries. In cases like this, it is essential for those involved to seek immediate medical care, even if injuries don’t seem significant at first, as some injuries may worsen over time.
After an accident on a busy highway, it is critical to document the scene as much as possible. Take photos of vehicle damage, the surrounding area, and any visible injuries. It’s also important to exchange insurance and contact information with all parties involved and collect statements from any witnesses. A police report can also assist in processing insurance claims and potential legal actions.
