Los Angeles Intersection Accident Lawyers Who Build Strong Cases

Identifying the cause of an intersection accident is crucial for determining fault and liability. Oaks Law Firm conducts thorough investigations to gather physical and recorded evidence after a car accident at an intersection. The type of evidence collected will depend on how the crash happened. With intersection collisions, key contributing factors typically include:

• Red-light running: This dangerous behavior results in high-speed side-impact or head-on collisions, often causing severe injuries.
• Distracted driving: Drivers who are not paying attention to the road can easily miss stop signs, lights, or other vehicles’ movements, leading to crashes.
• Improper turning: Failing to gauge oncoming traffic correctly or ignoring right-of-way rules frequently results in intersection accidents.
• Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit reduces a driver’s ability to stop or maneuver safely through an intersection, increasing the risk of collisions.
• Driving under the influence: Alcohol or drug impairment severely affects a driver’s judgment and reaction time, leading to dangerous driving behaviors.

Establishing fault can be challenging, with multiple factors and parties potentially contributing to the crash. Disputes over who had the right of way or whether signals were obeyed often arise. Additionally, insurance companies frequently dispute claims, minimizing injuries or arguing shared fault to reduce payouts.

Obtaining evidence to support your claim can be challenging, but Oaks Law Firm can handle it for you. Intersection accidents often involve multiple witnesses with varying accounts, surveillance video that needs to be promptly requested before it’s deleted, and police reports that accurately reflect the crash circumstances.
