Why Interstate Accidents Happen
Car accidents on the interstate can cause serious injury and loss of life. Accidents can happen when vehicles are traveling at a high rate of speed. Some of the most common causes include distracted driving, intoxicated driving, and, that early in the morning, one driver may have been tired behind the wheel. At other times, accidents like this occur due to poor road conditions, animals entering the road, speeding, or other forms of reckless driving. In each of these situations, police must identify who is at fault so that the victim can seek compensation for the losses they have incurred.
