Safety Reminder: Drive Cautiously on Mountain Highways

Highway 20 is known for its winding stretches, steep grades, and limited visibility, especially around areas like Rex Reservoir. Drivers should slow down around curves, avoid distractions, and maintain a safe following distance to prevent multi-vehicle collisions. Even a brief lapse in attention on rural highways can lead to severe consequences.

Injured in a Crash? You May Be Entitled to Compensation

If you or a loved one has been injured in a collision due to another driver’s negligence, you have the right to pursue compensation. Medical bills, lost income, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering can quickly add up. Insurance companies may try to minimize payouts, but with legal guidance, you can fight for what you truly deserve.

An experienced personal injury attorney can take the burden off your shoulders—handling insurance negotiations, gathering critical evidence, and building a strong case to support your claim.
