What Are Some Common Causes of Intersection Accidents?

Research shows that the accidents that occur at intersections are often more severe than accidents that occur when vehicles are traveling in the same direction. Drivers have to process more information when they are at intersections, and this fact along with other distractions, makes intersections a particularly dangerous area for auto accidents.

Common types of crashes at intersections include:

  • Head-on collisions
  • T-bone collisions
  • Side-swiping vehicles
  • Illegal U-turn crashes

Drivers who fail to follow the traffic laws, or who are in a rush are more likely to be involved in these types of accidents. Some of the major causes of intersection accidents include, but are not limited to:

Regardless of the reason behind auto accidents at an intersection, the fact remains that car accident victims often suffer severe injuries. In some cases, in particularly severe and dangerous intersection auto accidents, the victim may even die. In fatal intersection collisions, families may pursue a wrongful death lawsuit.

Spouses, parents and children in California can pursue justice on behalf of their lost loved one. Families should contact an experienced Long Beach intersection car accident attorney who has not afraid to go after insurance companies.

Auto accidents that occur at intersections are among the most dangerous types of auto accidents. If you or a loved one has been involved in a collision and seriously injured, be sure to contact our firm immediately.

What About Insurance Settlement Offers?

When insurance companies know that their driver is at fault, they will often try to offer a preliminary settlement to minimize the chances that they will have to pay injured victims what they actually deserve.

Never sign anything that you are offered by an insurance company without speaking to an experienced personal injury attorney. They will always offer the smallest amount of money that they think you will accept.

Without fail, our firm has found that the initial insurance company settlement offers are much less than what our clients actually deserve.

By retaining an attorney, injured car accident victims and their families can negotiate settlements that cover a range of damages, including:

  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage
  • Lost wages
  • Therapy
  • Medical expenses

This is not a complete list of damages that may be awarded in your case. Every personal injury case is different, and the damages vary depending on the amount of suffering and the extent of the injuries. Only a review of your specific circumstances by an experienced Long Beach car accident attorney can accurately determine what damages you may receive in your case.
