Intersection Accident Scenarios
Failure to Ensure the Intersection Is Clear Before Proceeding
Crashes often occur at intersections when drivers fail to check that the way is clear before they move forward. Examples of this type of crash include:
Pedestrian accident, when a driver turning left or right at an intersection fails to yield to a pedestrian in the crosswalk
Turning with an Obstructed View
A driver’s view can easily be obstructed while negotiating a left-hand turn at an intersection. For example, a driver in a small sedan waiting for a break in traffic to make a left-hand turn may not be able to see around a large SUV traveling in the opposite direction that is attempting to turn left against traffic. In some cases, a driver with an obstructed view may turn left without knowing for sure that the coast is clear, violating another driver’s right-of-way. If an accident ensues, the left-turning driver will likely be liable for injuries.
Falsely Predicting Another Driver’s Actions
A driver may try to predict what another driver will do and get it wrong. For example, at a four-way stop with two vehicles, both drivers may advance at the same time, causing their vehicles to collide, because each thought the other would yield. According to four-way stop driving rules, the driver on the left should yield to the driver on the right. False predictions can also happen when drivers fail to signal turns, leading to collisions. In this case, fault and liability may lie with either the driver who failed to signal or the other driver involved in the crash.
