Accidents on Interstate 89 and 91 in Vermont

Vermont's two main interstates carry heavy traffic at high speed. Crashes on I-89 and I-91 raise distinct legal and medical issues.

High-Speed, High-Stakes Crashes

I-89 and I-91 are the backbone of Vermont travel, linking Burlington, Montpelier, White River Junction, and Brattleboro. At interstate speeds, even a moment's inattention can cause catastrophic injury, and the forces involved often produce serious harm rather than minor bruises.

Common Causes

Following too closely, unsafe lane changes, fatigued and distracted driving, and sudden slowdowns in weather or construction zones drive many interstate collisions. Commercial trucks sharing these corridors add severity when they are involved.

Why These Cases Are Complex

Multiple vehicles, out-of-state drivers, and disputed sequences of impact are common. Prompt investigation, including any available camera or telematics data, is critical to establishing who was at fault.
