U-Turn Car Accident Lawyer

Fighting for Victims of Illegal U-Turn Crashes

U-turn accidents happen when drivers make dangerous turns in prohibited zones or fail to yield properly.

These traffic violations often cause devastating side-impact collisions with innocent drivers who had the right of way.

Illegal u-turns are one of the most preventable yet dangerous traffic violations on our roads.

Every year, thousands of crashes result from drivers making improper u-turns at intersections, in no-turn zones, or without checking for oncoming traffic.

These collisions involving illegal u-turns can leave victims with severe injuries and mounting medical bills.

When U-Turn Accidents Become Legal Claims

Most u-turn crashes occur because drivers violate traffic laws by turning where prohibited or failing to yield to oncoming vehicles.

Drivers are typically obligated by law to execute u-turns safely, and only in non prohibited zones.

Drivers that violate the traffic laws and cause crashes face civil liability.

What makes u-turn accidents particularly dangerous?

U-turn collisions typically result in severe T-bone or side-impact crashes. The turning vehicle cuts directly across traffic lanes, giving other drivers little time to react or avoid the collision. The injury patterns we encounter from victims tend to be severe because of the nature of the accident.

Who is typically at fault in u-turn accidents?

The driver making the u-turn bears responsibility for ensuring the maneuver is legal and safe.

Personal injury lawyers know that u-turn drivers must yield to all oncoming traffic and pedestrians before turning.

Making an illegal u-turn in a prohibited zone creates automatic liability.

There are circumstances where the turning driver is not found at fault, too, but it's less common.

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. Without proper legal representation, insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. Contested liability, disputes over what led up to the crash, and other tactics are commonly used to limit what they have to pay.

Most don't know what they are up against with the insurers until it's too late. Get the legal help you need to ensure you get paid what you deserve.

The experienced legal team at Lawsuit Legal has deep experience fighting back against the tricks they use to limit their responsibility for crash injuries.

Our accident lawyers know exactly how to secure big settlements for the injured by proving the other driver's negligence and traffic violations.

 

Damages You Can Recover After a U-Turn Crash

The damages you can recover in a U-turn car accident aren't different than that of a typical wreck. Common damages our client can seek to recvoer in u-turn accident cases include:

• Medical Expenses: Emergency room visits, surgery costs, physical therapy, prescription medications, and ongoing treatment for your injuries.
• Lost Wages: Income lost while recovering from your injuries, plus future earning capacity if you can't return to your previous job.
• Property Damage: Vehicle repair or replacement costs, plus any personal belongings damaged in the crash.
• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional trauma, and reduced quality of life caused by the accident.

Serious u-turn accidents often involve multiple vehicles and complex injury patterns. Side-impact collisions can cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and internal organ injuries.

Imagine being seriously hurt in a wreck, the medical bills are piling up, and you aren't able to work because of your injuries. Compensation matters. You shouldn't have to pay for the losses incurred due to someone else's reckless or negligent behavior.

Common Locations Where Illegal U-Turns Cause Accidents

U-turn accidents frequently occur at predictable locations.

Busy intersections where drivers attempt dangerous turns against oncoming traffic.

Poorly designed roads where unsafe conditions exist for turning.

Any roadway or highway where making a sharp "U" maneuver by the driver is hazardous and a danger to other motorists.

Business districts and shopping centers see high rates of illegal u-turn crashes.

Drivers often make impulsive turns to reach stores or restaurants without considering traffic laws or oncoming vehicles.

Intersections with traffic signals are another common crash hotspot we frequently encounter. Some drivers attempt u-turns during yellow or red lights, creating dangerous conflicts with cross traffic and turning vehicles.

Highway on-ramps and divided roads are particularly hazardous for u-turn attempts. These areas typically prohibit u-turns entirely, but frustrated drivers sometimes ignore the restrictions and make reckless maneuvers.

Drivers making illegal u-turns in construction zones, hospital emergency areas, and other clearly marked no-turn zones are another frequent pattern we see in our law firm.

School zones and residential areas also experience u-turn accidents when drivers try to turn around quickly. These crashes are especially serious because they often involve pedestrians and cyclists.

Leverage our history of landmark results in civil lawsuits to your advantage. Traffic accidents in these situations can create strong liability cases for injured victims, and you may be entitled substantial compensation depending on the nature of your injuries.
