Approximately 355 people are killed each year in accidents caused by drivers headed in the wrong direction on the highway. Most of these crashes result in head-on collisions, resulting in 81% of wrong-way fatalities.

Despite driving safely, you may find yourself involved in a wrong-way driving accident due to the negligence of another driver. Call Apicella & Schlesinger Attorneys at Law 24/7 to learn more about your legal right to compensation.

  • Distracted driving

  • Driving under the influence of alcohol
  • Senior drivers
