Exceptional Advocacy to Help Victims of Intersection Crashes Recover & Get Justice

What Types of Car Accidents Happen at Intersections?
Nearly any type of motor vehicle crash can occur at an intersection — and that includes intersections that are:
-
Signalized:
Traffic signals at intersections can time and facilitate the safe flow of traffic. Tragically, however, about 33% of all deadly intersection accidents happen at signalized intersections (source: FHWA). -
Non-signalized:
Intersections without signals can include roundabouts, intersections with traffic signs only, and intersections with no signage. Motorists who are unfamiliar with how to safely navigate non-signalized intersections can face far greater crash risks at these junctions.
When collisions happen near or in an intersection, they tend to involve crashes like (but not limited to):

What Causes Most Intersection Car Accidents?
Like other types of auto crashes, intersection car accidents most often result from some type of negligence — and that negligence typically involves human errors. In fact, most intersection crashes are caused by motorists’ and other travelers’ mistakes and failures on the roads, including (but not limited to):
These and other human errors on the roads are most likely to occur when motorists and/or pedestrians are:
With or without these crash-causing errors, other factors that can play contribute to intersection accidents include:

How to Prevent Intersection Accidents: 10 Safety Tips
Whether you’re driving, riding, or walking through an intersection, here are some simple steps you can take to stay safe and minimize your risk of an intersection accident:
Stay focused and alert as you approach and travel through an intersection.
1
Be particularly attentive to any pedestrians, motorcyclists, and/or bicyclists sharing the roads with you at an intersection
2
Always leave enough room between your vehicle and the vehicle you’re following.
3
Use your signals AND check your blind spots before changing lanes or making turns at an intersection.
4
Never speed up as you approach an intersection. Either maintain your speed if you have a green light or safely slow down as you prepare to stop.
5
Always comply with all traffic laws while traveling through intersections.
6
If you’re stopped at an intersection, always wait a few seconds before proceeding through just in case another motorist decides to run a red light or blast through a stop sign.
7
Drive defensively near intersections and be ready for others to break the laws.
8
Go extra slow at intersections whenever there’s construction or bad weather.
9
Be especially careful when driving near 18-wheelers at intersections. Trucks make wider turns and have larger blind spots. Both of those factors can be particularly risky at intersections.
