Personal InjuryCalifornia Intersection Accident Attorneys
Intersections, where opposing streams of traffic cross, are one of the most likely places for an auto accident -- "accident blackspots," in the lingo of traffic engineers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that there are more accidents at intersections than anywhere else on the roadways of America. Intersection accidents account for one-third of all car accidents and are often responsible for serious, life-changing injuries, such as paralysis, loss of a limb or head trauma, or even wrongful death. If an insurance company improperly assesses blame or stonewalls the claims process after the accident, victims can feel even more frustrated and further victimized.
Failure of one motorist to yield the right-of-way, including running stop signs and signals or proceeding out of turn, is the most common cause of intersection crashes. However, improper roadway design or poor road conditions may also cause a crash at an intersection. Traffic signs or signals may be hidden or malfunctioning; lines of sight may be inadequate; warning signs may not be posted at all. Often, responsibility for the accident can be attributed to a municipality or a private company as well as the motorists involved -- making intersection accident lawsuits a complicated area of the law with a strict statute of limitations.
