Intersections concentrate turning, crossing, and merging traffic, creating countless opportunities for collisions. Left-turn crashes, red-light runners, and failure-to-yield wrecks are among the most common and most severe.
Why Intersections Are So Dangerous
In fast-growing Texas suburbs, new intersections and heavy traffic add to the risk.
Establishing Right-of-Way
Texas right-of-way rules govern who must yield. A driver turning left must yield to oncoming traffic; a driver entering from a stop sign must yield to through traffic. Violating these rules is strong evidence of fault.
Traffic-signal data, intersection cameras, and witness accounts help reconstruct who had the right-of-way.
Building an Intersection Claim
Because both drivers often claim the other ran the light or failed to yield, independent evidence is crucial. A free review can help establish what happened.
