There are many common causes of intersection car accidents. This might include vehicles running a red light or a stop sign. These incidents can cause a side-impact collision or head-on collision. Not paying attention to traffic lights or stop signs can result in rear-end collisions at the intersection, and making a left or right turn without checking to ensure the intersection is clear of other vehicles can also cause an accident. Intersection car accidents usually involve liability issues. This means that it is not always obvious who was responsible for the accident, and each side might dispute legal responsibility.

Rights Protected by this West Palm Beach Intersection Accident Lawyer
Frequently, the light timing sequences at intersections are off and, if that happens and an accident takes place as a result, then you have the right to pursue a roadway construction case against the owner of the intersection/roadway where your accident occurred. For example, if drivers heading in various directions both had green lights and an intersection wreck occurred as a result, then you might be able to pursue a roadway construction case against whoever was liable for the imperfect, failing light timing-sequences.
Many intersection crashes also involve the failure to yield the right-of-way. West Palm Beach right-of-way laws are required for an intersection to run smoothly. If a speeding driver runs through a red light or stop sign, they have failed to yield the right-of-way.

Many of the intersections in the State of Florida have red lights. When an accident occurs at an intersection, you must look into whether that intersection has cameras or not. If the intersection has a camera, the camera might have recorded your accident. In that case, you should get the video footage of the accident. But it is important that you get the video footage of your accident as soon as possible because most of the red light cameras are on loops which means that they tape over themselves every so often
Intersections can also exist at the convergence of several roads. For instance, the intersection where your accident occurred might border on two roadways, three roadways, four roadways, etc. When multiple vehicles attempt to merge into the same intersection from various roadways, an accident can easily occur.
After an intersection accident, it is also obviously essential to preserve any witness testimony. Intersection accidents often are witnessed by numerous people. This is due to the fact that heavy traffic that normally exists at intersections. Drivers of other vehicles may have seen your accident. If there were other people who witnessed your wreck, it is important to get their names and contact information as soon as possible. In addition, since stories change and memories fade, it is typically an excellent idea to get recorded witness statements or affidavits from the witnesses to your accident.
Pedestrian accidents happen much more frequently at intersections. Pedestrians are supposed to follow the traffic control signals that are intended for them.
