The Dangers of Freeway Accidents

Due to their high-speeds and the increase in aggressive and distracted driving, Freeway accidents in Las Vegas, NV, pose a significant danger — arguably more dangerous than the traditional surface street crash. To make matters worse, our streets are often filled with tourists who are unfamiliar with the layout of our freeways, or road construction that forces sudden merges and lane changes and as a result, risky maneuvers are made which can increase the chance of a car crash.

Steps to Take After a Freeway Crash

If you or a loved one have been injured in a wreck on the freeway, there are a series of steps you must take if you wish to file a personal injury lawsuit.

  • Check to make sure everyone is ok. First and foremost, you should check to ensure yourself and all occupants of your vehicle are okay. If anyone is injured, do not attempt to move them. Proceed to the next step.
  • Contact the police. Once you are able to do so, you should call the police immediately to advise of the crash. This is incredibly important as if there are injuries reported, they will contact EMS for medical transport. They will also arrive to the scene of the accident and make an official report. This report will become a critical piece of evidence in your personal injury claim.
  • Get medical treatment. Even if you feel you are fine, some injuries can remain latent for days or even weeks before you begin feeling their symptoms. Additionally, the adrenaline from the accident can make it hard to tell that anything is wrong as it  dampens your response to pain and keeps you in the fight-or-flight mode. This is your body’s way of allowing you to escape danger. Once the adrenaline wears off, however, whatever injuries you do have may slowly develop. That is why it is absolutely critical that you seek medical care immediately.
  • Contact an attorney. The insurance companies will attempt to place as much fault on you as possible so they can pay out as little as possible. They may contact you with a quick settlement offer which may sound appealing; however, it is important to remember that this offer is going to be much less than what you are actually entitled to. That is why you need an experienced attorney on your side who will fight for your right to fair compensation.
