Headlight Dazzle: Why Drivers' Concerns Deserve To Be Taken Seriously

For many, being dazzled by headlights is no longer just a nuisance

As a partner and lawyer in our Serious Injury team(Opens in a new tab), I’m increasingly hearing from people who raise concerns about headlight dazzle in the context of serious collisions. While every crash is different, when similar issues continue to be raised by motorists, it's important that those experiences are listened to and properly understood.
