Common Causes of Left-Turn Accidents
Left-turn accidents often occur due to driver negligence or reckless behavior. Common causes include:
- Failure to Yield: Not yielding to oncoming traffic or pedestrians.
- Distracted Driving: Using a phone, eating, or other distractions while turning.
- Speeding: Attempting a left turn at an unsafe speed.
- Misjudging Gaps in Traffic: Turning too soon or too late in front of oncoming vehicles.
- Running Red Lights: Failing to obey traffic signals at intersections.
- Impaired Driving: Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
If another driver’s negligence caused your accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and losses.
Common Injuries in Left-Turn Accidents
Left-turn accidents often occur at high speeds, leading to serious injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Whiplash and other neck injuries
- Internal injuries and organ damage
- Lacerations, cuts, and bruises
- Fatal injuries in severe cases
No matter the severity of your injuries, our team is here to help you pursue the compensation you need to recover.
Determining Liability in Left-Turn Accidents
In most cases, the driver making the left turn is considered at fault for failing to yield the right of way. However, there are exceptions, such as:
- Speeding Oncoming Drivers: If the oncoming vehicle was traveling significantly over the speed limit.
- Running Red Lights: If the oncoming driver ignored a traffic signal.
- Road Conditions: Poorly marked intersections or obstructed views contributing to the accident.
At Yagoubzadeh Law Firm LLP, we will thoroughly investigate your accident, review evidence, and identify all liable parties to build a strong case.
