Busy highways and traffic intersections can be hazardous places, with vehicle accidents frequently occurring at these locations. Most of the automobile collisions occur when other drivers are not paying proper attention to the road in front of them. Collisions that result from a driver failing to yield the right of way to another vehicle are no exception. If you, or a loved one, were badly injured or passed away due to a failure to yield accident, contact this West Palm Beach, Florida Failure to Yield Car Accident Lawyer to evaluate your failure to yield vehicle accident claim.
In the State of Florida, a failure to yield car accident is a common happening, which typically results in severe injury or death. There are many types of failure to yield offenses, which often cause serious collisions. These failure to yield accidents are usually caused by careless driving behavior when a vehicle fails to yield to a walker in a crosswalk or yield to a vehicle that has the right of way. If two vehicles come into an intersection from different roads at the same time, the driver on the left should yield the right-of-way to the driver on the right.
Anytime two vehicles approach an intersection controlled by a blinking red light or stop sign, all drivers should yield to the motorist arriving first. In addition, any motorist approaching an intersection should yield to any vehicle that is legally within the intersection. Any merging vehicle from a parked position should yield to other traffic, and to all motorists who do not have a yield sign or stop sign, such as a two-way stop.
It is very important that all motorists use the best judgment when driving on roadways and entering controlled or uncontrolled intersections. Vehicle drivers should remain fully aware of all other traffic, bicyclists, and pedestrians on or around the road. This means staying aware and fully alert to any motorists who are violating the traffic law and municipal traffic codes.

The driver of the vehicle might receive a ticket for failing to yield if the vehicle that caused your accident failed to yield to your vehicle. In the trial of your case, you might be able to request that the officer who issued the ticket testify. That officer might be able to testify as to evidence that led to the conclusion that the other driver failed to yield the right-of-way.
In all cases, it is significant to prove what actually happened when the accident took place if you have been hurt in an accident caused by any other vehicle’s failure to yield. You could do this in several ways. One way this can be done via witness testimony. If there were independent witnesses who saw your wreck, then those witnesses might be able to testify in the trial of your case.
If the accident occurred at a red light, then a red-light camera might have recorded the accident. You should get the video footage of the accident that will help you to prove that the other vehicle failed to yield the right of way. But it is important that you get the video footage of your accident as soon as possible because most red light cameras are on continuous loops – which means that they tape over themselves frequently.
If the failure to yield accident happened in the front of any business establishment, then the surveillance cameras of that business establishment might have recorded the accident. Then again it is important to get the video footage of your accident as soon as possible because it might tape over itself or be misplaced if you don’t.
Another way that you might able to prove that the other driver in your collide failed to yield the right-of-way is via the testimony of an accident re-constructionist. An accident re-constructionist is an expert witness who will analyze the accident (including the accident scene, the damage to the different vehicles involved in the accident, and the testimony of the witnesses to the collision) and try to determine 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.
