Car Accidents in Nebraska

Each year, thousands of crashes occur on Nebraska’s highways, many resulting in injuries. According to the Nebraska Department of Transportation, over 30,000 traffic accidents happen annually, with a significant number occurring on major interchanges like Highway 75 and I-480. High speeds, merging traffic, and driver inattention often contribute to these incidents.

There are several common factors that lead to highway collisions, including:

• Drowsy Driving: Fatigue can impair reaction time and decision-making abilities, making drowsy drivers a hazard on the road. Many accidents involving fatigue occur in the early morning hours.
• Improper Lane Changes: Failing to signal, checking blind spots too late, or making sudden lane shifts can cause dangerous sideswipe or rear-end collisions.
• Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for conditions can increase the risk of losing control, especially on highway ramps and interchanges.
• Limited Visibility at Night: Early morning crashes are often linked to low visibility, making it harder for drivers to see road hazards or react in time.
• Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drug impairment can significantly impact a driver’s coordination and judgment, increasing the risk of a serious crash.
