Fighting for Victims of Negligent Left Turn Crashes

Left turn accidents causing intersection crashes, head-on collisions, and side-impact crashes can be devastating.

When drivers fail to yield right-of-way or initiate dangerous sharp turns into oncoming traffic the results can be tragic.

These reckless driver behaviors typically cause devastating collisions with innocent motorists who had the right of way.

Negligent left turn crashes are among the most deadly traffic accidents on American roads and intersections.

These left-turn crashs often leave victims facing catastrophic injuries and overwhelming medical bills.

Don't Let Insurance Companies Escape Liability for Left Turn Negligence

Most left turn crashes occur because drivers violate traffic laws by failing to yield to oncoming vehicles or making sharp turns against traffic signals.

Turning through oncoming traffic is a hazardous maneuver, and extra caution should be taken to execute the maneuver safely.

Drivers turning left must wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic and yield to all approaching vehicles.

Negligent drivers who violate traffic laws and cause left turn crashes face legal liability for compensating injured victims.

You need to understand this: insurance companies will challenge every aspect of your crash to reduce their payout. That's why you need experienced legal representation.


What makes left turn accidents particularly dangerous?

Left turn collisions typically result in severe T-bone or side-impact crashes.

When turning vehicle cuts directly across oncoming traffic lanes, it often doesn't give drivers enough time to react or avoid the collision.

This can result in collisions with vehicles travelling at high speeds hitting the turning vehicle where they are most vulnerable.

These accidents typically result in severe injuries and all too often these cases are fatal.


Who is typically at fault in left turn accidents?

In 8 out of 10 cases brought to us the driver making the left turn was negligent and caused the crash.

However, we review 1000s of accident cases across the country every month. We've seen it all.

Motorists hit by drunk drivers while properly waiting to make a left turn in the intersection. Drivers who swerved out of their lane while driving distracted. Truck drivers who fell asleep at the wheel only to plow through an intersection and hit an unsuspecting driver waiting to turn. Traffic signals that were malfunctioning. You can see where this is going - each case is unique.

Think about it: intersections are chaos. Vehicles turning left, right, going straight. Pedestrians crossing. Traffic signals changing. Good accident lawyers who've handled hundreds of these cases will be able to review the facts and evidence to determine if your legal case has merit.

Filing an insurance claim against the at-fault driver's policy allows injured victims to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other crash-related damages.

What Your Left Turn Accident Case Is Really Worth

Your left turn accident case could be worth a substantial sum depending on the extent of your injuries and accident-related losses. The expertise of our attorneys with the insurance claim process, policy limits, and hidden compensation sources give you the best chance at recovering what you're really owed.

Here's the inside track: insurance adjusters are trained to settle fast and cheap. After a serious collision, they'll typically contact you within hours of your crash (before you even see a doctor) with a lowball offer. Why? They know you are reeling, overwhelmed, and hurt. They are trying to take advantage of the victim's vulnerability after a crash, and hope you'll accept a woefully undervalued settlement.

Your serious car accident case could be worth millions when you understand policy stacking, insurance coverage limits, and hidden compensation sources insurance companies don't want you to discover.

Most accident victims settle for pennies because they don't exercise their legal options. Primary liability coverage? Does the negligent driver carry umbrella policies? What about their employer's commercial coverage? These coverage sources can stack together, transforming a $25,000 settlement into a seven-figure recovery.

Our award-winning personal injury lawyers know exactly what it takes to win big settlements for the seriously injured.

After an accident our mission is to identify every available insurance dollar and fight relentless to see you get compensated fairly.

Let Lawsuit Legal handle the legal burden while you focus on recovery.

Left Turn Accident Frequently Asked Questions

Q:    What should I do immediately after being hit by someone making a left turn?

A:    First, seek medical attention even if you feel fine - adrenaline can mask serious injuries. Call police to document the scene and obtain a traffic report. Take photos of vehicle damage, the intersection, traffic signals, and any skid marks. Get contact information from witnesses who saw the illegal turn. Don't admit fault or discuss details with the other driver's insurance company before consulting car accident attorneys.

Q:    How do I prove the other driver made an illegal left turn?

A:    Evidence includes traffic camera footage, witness statements, police reports citing traffic violations, and photos of traffic signal timing. Clear video footage of what happened is difficult for the opposition to contest and is the best evidence if available. Our accident lawyers will help collect the available evidence in the aftermath to help prove who was to blame and establish liability.

Q:    Can I still recover damages if the left turn crash was partially my fault?

A:    Yes, you may still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Even if the car accident was partly your fault, this doesn’t mean that you automatically lose your case. If you were speeding for example it may reduce your compensation under comparative negligence laws, but it doesn't eliminate your right to damages for the other driver's negligence if they were primarily at fault. Consult an experienced accident attorney to review the unique details in your case.

Q:    What if the left turn driver claims they had a green arrow?

A:    Traffic signal timing records can be subpoenaed to verify arrow phases. Even with a green arrow, turning drivers must yield to pedestrians and vehicles already in the intersection. We're committed to securing maximum compensation for your injuries by thoroughly investigating signal timing, witness accounts, and camera footage to establish exactly what happened.

Q:    How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a left turn accident?

A:    The statute of limitations varies by state, typically ranging from one to two years for personal injury claims. If you miss the statute of limitations you risk your lawsuit being barred from the courts. Contact our experienced legal team immediately to preserve your rights and begin building your case.

Q:    What makes left turn accidents more complex than other traffic crashes?

A:    Left turn accidents often involve questions about traffic signal timing, intersection design, sight line obstructions, and right-of-way rules. Multiple vehicles may be involved if the illegal turn caused a chain reaction. Our specialized knowledge of traffic law violations and intersection liability helps maximize compensation for complex left turn cases.
