New Jersey Intersection Accident Lawyers
Intersections are the locations of some of the most severe accidents, injuries and deaths in New Jersey. Whether an accident involved a red light runner, speeding or racing, pedestrians or vehicles turning without looking, intersections can be extremely dangerous. Intersections can also be dangerous with police chases, people selling things or washing car windows and for many other reasons.
Each intersection accident only takes a few seconds to happen but can be the result of thousands of factors. Because there are also several legal situations that occur from intersection accidents, a good New Jersey intersection accident attorney can help you out significantly. New Jersey has several traffic laws that pertain to intersection accidents and they are constantly changing depending on the circumstances.
Many accidents occur at a stop sign intersection and for numerous reasons. A driver failing to stop at the stop sign and instead driving into cross-traffic that does not have a stop sign is a common accident, for example. Failing to stop at stop signs has also become a hazardous fact of driving in New Jersey. Drivers who do not watch cars in front of them often collide with them when the front car must stop at an intersection.
Perhaps the most injurious accident that occurs in a New Jersey intersection is when a vehicle collides with a pedestrian or pedestrians. Cars turning across oncoming traffic often speed up in order to turn quickly but fail to realize that pedestrians are crossing the street. Because the cars are often going at a high rate of speed the drivers typically cannot stop when they see the pedestrians. This situation has led to several injuries, deaths and property damage cases throughout the state.
