Injury Crashes in Busy Commercial Areas
Collisions in high traffic zones like South River Road can be especially hazardous due to a combination of heavy vehicle flow, turning traffic, and pedestrian activity. Even at lower speeds, the potential for serious injury remains significant, particularly when vehicles collide at intersections or while making turns.
Victims of such crashes may face a range of physical injuries including whiplash, fractures, or head trauma, alongside emotional effects such as anxiety and stress. The financial impact often compounds the challenge, with victims managing hospital bills, physical therapy costs, and loss of income during recovery.
If negligence, distraction, or failure to yield is found to have contributed to an accident, injured parties may have legal grounds to pursue compensation. This can include coverage for medical expenses, property damage, lost earnings, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.
