Accidents on Highways in Onondaga County
Accidents on major roads like State Highway 298 are not uncommon, particularly in areas with high traffic volume. These collisions can be caused by various factors, including driver distraction, failure to yield, or road conditions. As highways are often high-speed areas, accidents can lead to more serious injuries, especially if drivers or passengers are not properly restrained.
According to the New York State Department of Transportation, highway collisions often involve significant damage and result in injuries, even when the vehicles are traveling at relatively moderate speeds. Drivers are encouraged to remain vigilant, follow posted speed limits, and adjust to road conditions to help prevent accidents.
In the aftermath of a crash, it is essential to seek medical attention, even for seemingly minor injuries, as conditions like internal trauma or whiplash may not be immediately noticeable. Victims should also document the scene of the accident, including taking photos, gathering witness statements, and obtaining a police report to assist with insurance claims and legal processes.
It’s important to be cautious when dealing with insurance settlements. Early offers from insurers may not fully cover the long-term medical and recovery costs. Consulting with a legal professional can help ensure victims receive fair compensation for their injuries.
