Intersections are often considered to be one of the most dangerous areas of the road. Traffic lanes crossing, vehicles turning, and drivers changing speed or stopping at signals are just a few examples of why many motor vehicle accidents occur at intersections. In fact, the Driving Institute of America states that over 40% of all car accident fatalities involved drivers either failing to yield the right of way, driving through a stop sign, or ignoring a traffic light.
One-third of all crashes occur at intersections.
Not all intersection accidents are the fault of the drivers involved. In certain cases, there may be a defect in the design of the roadway or in the construction of the road itself. Roads which are not designed properly to allow the driver a line of sight to see the continuation of the road or posted speed limit signs may result in serious accidents and even auto accident related fatalities. In addition to poor lines of sight, traffic signals which are malfunctioning or are not properly timed may pose a threat to drivers. Yet another defect of the road which may pose a risk of motor vehicle accidents involve traffic signs; signs which are weathered or faded, improperly placed, or damaged may lead to accidents. There are many factors that come into play when an intersection accident occurs, which is why it is so important to hire an experienced California intersection accident attorney to fight for your rights.
