Busy highways across Fresno County can carry nearly as much traffic as an interstate and be just as dangerous for drivers. Interstates have exit on-ramps and off-ramps, but some highways have four-way intersections with smaller feeder roads.
Drivers can see other motorists entering the lanes from several directions and must hope those other motorists are paying enough attention to other vehicles to safely merge. Hazards can also arise as reckless drivers travel too fast or switch lanes without making a proper check of mirrors and blind spots.
One driver’s carelessness can quickly create a major problem for other motorists and cause an unavoidable collision. These errors in judgment can have devastating consequences and leave victims with severe injuries.

Assistance for Victims And Families After Fresno County Accidents
The victims of frightening car accidents can suffer serious injuries and need emergency care that local hospitals aren’t always able to provide. Victims may suffer traumatic injuries which are major injuries usually suffered from the blunt force trauma of an impact or from receiving a penetrating injury from an object breaking the skin. These injuries require emergency care as soon as possible to preserve the life of the victim.
Injury victims of the most devastating accidents in Fresno County are often airlifted to the Table Mountain Rancheria Trauma Center located at Community Regional Medical Center in downtown Fresno. This is a Level 1 Trauma Center which is the highest designation for these medical units. A Level 1 Trauma Center offers access to more specialized surgeons and the most advanced medical equipment.
Victims who have suffered an injury and have accumulated enormous hospital bills while also missing valuable time at work are encouraged to file a claim for damages. This civil claim filed by the victim or a close family member asks the at-fault driver’s car insurance provider for help with the costs of recovery. A personal injury lawyer can help with this process and also make sure an insurance company doesn’t try to offer less than what’s fair to the victim and his or her family.
