What Causes Intersection Collision Accidents?

Intersection collision accidents typically happen when drivers don't follow the rules of the road or aren't paying enough attention. Some common causes include:

• running red lights or stop signs;
• not yielding when they should;
• speeding;
• getting distracted while driving, especially by texting or talking on the phone.
• bad road conditions;
• hard-to-see areas can also lead to accidents at intersections. 

No matter the reason for the accident or where it happened, it’s always advisable to have it reviewed by an expert. That way, you’ll be able to find out if you or a loved one might be owed some form of compensation.

Common Injuries From Intersection Collision Accidents

Whiplash is a common injury in intersection collisions, but it’s not the only one accident victims often sustain.

• Broken bones. The force of a collision can cause bones to fracture.
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). TBIs are a serious head injury resulting from the brain colliding against the inside of one’s skull.
• Internal injuries. A forceful impact can cause internal damage, injuring vital organs and triggering internal bleeding.
• Spinal cord injuries. Spinal cord injuries can result in paralysis and lifelong disabilities, but even when they don’t, recovery can require extensive physical therapy.

Intersection accidents can also result in a fatality. High rates of speed and T-bone accidents are commonly cited as a cause of the fatality. Morgan & Morgan can fight for your legal rights and help ensure you receive full and fair compensation after your intersection collision accident.
