Intersection Accidents in Racine and Common Injury Risks
Crashes at neighborhood intersections like 16th St and Indiana St are unfortunately common, especially in areas where stop signs, limited visibility, and driver distraction intersect. These types of collisions can happen suddenly and often result in lower extremity injuries for occupants, including leg trauma, due to the positioning of knees and feet near the dashboard or floorboard at the time of impact.
Even what may appear to be a minor collision can result in injuries that require long-term treatment or therapy—especially when the legs are affected. Victims often face challenges beyond physical recovery, such as time away from work, difficulty driving, and medical expenses.
