If you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident caused by someone else’s failure to yield occurring anywhere in the State of Florida (including Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, West Palm Beach, and Palm Beach County), call this Miami Failure to Yield Car Accident Attorney. When one driver fails to yield the “right-of-way” to another driver, then a failure to yield wreck may occur.
Failure-to-yield car accidents are common occurrences in the State of Florida and these accidents can occur in several different circumstances. Failure to yield accidents occur when a person fails to yield the road to the vehicle that has the right of way. Merging normally occurs in areas where two roadways cross paths, in which case the vehicle in the lane merging into the direct line of traffic must yield.
Failure-to-yield car accidents often occur at stop signs and traffic lights. There are many other circumstances in which a failure-to-yield can cause a major and serious collision. These auto crashes always involve one driver failing to observe the need to yield to another vehicle, pedestrian or bicyclist. One of the most common fact patterns of a failure to yield collision is when an individual comes to a four-way stop and does not realize that the other person already had a right of way in that intersection.
Blinking-yellow-lights also signify that approaching vehicles must yield the right-of-way to passing vehicles. If they don’t, then they will be liable for any crashes caused. Many accidents occur when vehicles fail to yield to an oncoming motorcycle. The result can be disastrous injury or fatal injury.
Lastly, vehicles stopped at intersection red-lights have to yield the right of way to passing vehicles. Again, if they don’t, then they will be liable for any collisions caused.

The driver might receive a ticket for “failing to yield” if the vehicle which caused your accident failed to yield to your vehicle. You might be able to request that the officer who issued the ticket testify in the trial of your case. That officer might be able to testify to his observations that led to his determination that the other driver failed to yield the right-of-way.
It will be significant to prove that this is what happened if you have been hurt in an accident caused by another vehicle’s failure-to-yield. This can be done in several ways. One way would be through witness testimony. If there were independent witnesses who witnessed your crash, then those witnesses may possibly be able to testify in the trial of your case.
By getting video footage of the accident, you might also be able to prove that the other vehicle failed to yield the right of way. If the crash occurred at an intersection, then a red-light camera might have captured the wreck. However, it’s vital that you get this footage as soon as possible since many red-light cameras are on continuous loops, which means that they tape over themselves frequently.
The nearby business establishments might have surveillance cameras that might have captured the accident after your failure-to-yield car wreck. Again though, it’s vital to get this footage ASAP because it can possibly be lost forever if you don’t.
The last way that you might be able to prove that the other driver in your crash failed to yield the right-of-way is through the testimony of an accident re-constructionist. An accident re-constructionist is an expert witness who will analyze the accident (as well as the accident report, the damage to the different vehicles involved in colliding, and the testimony of the witnesses to the collision) and try to figure out who was at fault. This accident re-constructionist can form an opinion as to if he or she believes the other driver failed to yield the right-of-way.
