Dangerous Intersections
Dangerous intersections are a growing menace on American roads and intersections in general are the most common site of accidents. Because of a variety of variables such as left turns, failing to go or stop at traffic signals, and a lack of road protection, dangerous intersections are more risky than ever before. In fact, over 40% of crash fatalities involve intersection negligence, and one third of all accidents take place at intersections.
Some intersection accidents are not the fault of negligent drivers, however. Certain design flaws such as incorrect posted speed limits, obstructed vision, mistimed traffic signals and other errors can make for extremely dangerous intersections. When roads are not secured with life-saving design and safety protocols, accidents are far more likely to happen.
Tragically, these types of hazards make dangerous intersections responsible for some of the most serious of accident injuries. With all of the stimulation and chaos, drivers have less time and capacity to brace for impact than at other areas on the roads. Injuries such as whiplash, broken bones, and even death can be sustained by innocent motorists at dangerous intersections.
If you or a loved one has been in an accident at such an intersection and suffered injuries as a result, you have legal rights and may be entitled to compensation for your physical and emotional pain. An experienced accident attorney can help you navigate the complexities of personal injury law so that you can secure the help that you deserve. Don’t wait, however – varying statutes of limitations can expire, leaving you both in pain and empty-handed. Call an experienced defective road sign lawyer today.
