The Different Ways A Driver Can Hit You

Despite your best efforts to stay vigilant on the road, a reckless driver can collide with your vehicle from any direction. Over the years I have represented clients in motor vehicle accident claims, I have helped them recover from accidents such as:

  • T-bone collisions
  • Rear-end accidents
  • Wrong way drivers
  • DUI accidents
  • Distracted driving caused by cellphone use, eating behind the wheel, use of infotainment systems or other sources of distraction

When these and other injuries come with a lifetime of complications, it is only reasonable to expect that the compensation a victim receives reflects those consequences. Common compensation for these injures can include lost income, medical expenses, therapy costs, relocation or renovation expenses, loss of earning potential, or pain and suffering.

Interstate accidents are a concern for commuters in Hagerstown. As a resident, understanding the causes of these incidents is crucial for implementing effective preventive measures and reducing your chances of a highway wreck.

However, you can only do so much to prevent road accidents, considering you share the road with other users. If you get involved in a car crash, I can help you seek the compensation you deserve.

Interstate Accidents Around Hagerstown

Interstates 70 and 81, which intersect just outside the southwest side of Hagerstown, bring about certain risks due to:

  • High and diverse traffic volumes during peak travel times
  • Diverse road conditions that lead to congestion
  • The substantial presence of long-haul trucks that can cause a highway wreck

Additionally, U.S. Route 40 presents drivers with urban stretches and rural landscapes. Adapting driving techniques to the changing environment is key to a safe and enjoyable trip.

Running parallel to I-81, U.S. Route 11 complements the interstate network, providing an alternative route for drivers. It often serves as a local route, catering to shorter-distance travelers. Being mindful of local traffic dynamics, such as intersections and pedestrian crossings, contributes to overall road safety.

Driver Behavior Increases The Risk Of Accidents On Interstates In Hagerstown

Every time you hit the road, you become part of a network of moving vehicles where the behavior of other drivers can threaten your safety.

Common driving behaviors that lead to highway wrecks include:

  • Ignoring traffic signals and speeding
  • Aggressive driving and tailgating
  • Drowsy and distracted driving
  • Driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol

If such behavior leads to an accident, I can guide you through your personal injury claim.
