Common Accidents at Traffic Intersections

Rear-end auto accidents and pedestrian accidents are among the most common accidents which occur at traffic intersections. If you or a loved one has been injured due to another driver’s negligence, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

– Rear-end accidents – Rear-end collisions at intersections often occur due to distracted driving and may involve texting while driving, making phone calls while driving, becoming distracted by the radio or a hands-free GPS or communication device, or being distracted by passengers in the vehicle. It can also occur at a yellow light when a driver falsely assumes the driver ahead will speed up to beat the red light, but the driver instead slows and stops. Common injuries sustained by victims of rear-end accidents include whiplash, chest/shoulder injuries, soft tissue injuries in the neck or back, seat belt rash injuries, and head injuries caused by striking the headrest or steering wheel upon impact.

– Pedestrian accidents – Distracted driving is also a common factor when a driver strikes a pedestrian who is legally crossing at a crosswalk. Common injuries sustained by pedestrians in these accidents include concussions, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). These accidents can also be caused by reckless or intoxicated driving.
