Intersection Accidents
Intersections are among the most high-risk areas on the road. Every driver, pedestrian, and cyclist moving through an intersection must anticipate the actions of others while obeying traffic signals and right-of-way laws. Unfortunately, many drivers fail to exercise caution, leading to devastating crashes that result in severe injuries or fatalities.
At Hawkins Law Firm, we know how complicated intersection accident cases can be. Determining fault often requires extensive evidence, including traffic camera footage, eyewitness testimony, and accident reconstruction. Insurance companies will attempt to shift blame onto you to minimize their payout, but we fight back aggressively to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Intersection Accidents
- Running Red Lights and Stop Signs
Intersections rely on clear traffic signals to prevent chaos, but when drivers ignore red lights or stop signs, the results can be catastrophic. T-bone (side-impact) collisions, rear-end crashes, and even pedestrian fatalities are common in these situations.
- Causes of Red Light Accidents
- Speeding to beat a light before it turns red
- Distracted driving (texting, phone use, adjusting the radio)
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Brake failure or vehicle malfunctions
- Consequences
- T-bone collisions that cause severe injuries to the driver or passengers on impact
- High-speed crashes that result in fatalities
- Pedestrian knockdowns leading to traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, or death
We secure video footage, subpoena phone records, and reconstruct the accident to prove the other driver’s negligence.
