Risks Drivers Face at Highway On-Ramps
Highway on-ramps present unique risks for drivers because they require quick speed changes and careful merging. Vehicles often come
together at different speeds, which increases the chance of serious crashes, especially during busy morning hours.
Crashes in these areas can lead to significant injuries. People may suffer broken bones, head injuries, back pain, or internal injuries due to the force of impact. Some injuries are obvious right away, while others may appear hours or days later. Medical visits help identify issues early and create records that guide follow-up care.
A car accident lawyer can help explain what steps may be available after an on-ramp crash. Legal guidance may include reviewing medical records, insurance paperwork, and crash reports. An attorney can also explain what types of compensation may be available, depending on the situation and available information.
