CAR ACCIDENT HIT ON HIGHWAY RAMP – INJURY LAWYERS
Our lawyers are often called by people who were hit in their car getting on or off of a highway entrance or exit ramp. In most cases, it is a rear end crash. Usually, the car behind is looking to merge and forgets there is a car ahead of him on the ramp. Fortunately, most of these entrance or exit ramp crashes are at slower speeds, but not always.
The car behind can quickly get to highway speeds if it has good acceleration and starts to merge early. Unfortunately, this makes for a more serious rear-end accident. Our lawyers have represented many people injured in a crash on a highway on ramp or off ramp in Minnesota.
INJURED IN CAR ACCIDENT
At a minimum, there will be damage to your car from the highway ramp crash. However, our auto accident lawyers have seen many Minnesota cases with serious injuries caused by a merging crash. In some cases, even at slower speeds. Many times, the injury starts out looking like simple whiplash. Unfortunately, it can turn out to be much worse.
It is always important to exchange information with the other driver after a crash. However, doing this on an entrance ramp or exit ramp can be difficult or even dangerous. You should pull off to the side of the road if possible. At a minimum, both cars should drive forward after the accident and get off the ramp if possible before exchanging information. However, if there is a serious injury, or the cars would be better not moved, you should call the police and 911 immediately.
