Intersection Accidents in Orange County, CA
Seeking Compensation for Your Losses

The very first step is to contact our firm so we can carefully review all of the facts, assess your injuries and formulate a battle plan to recover damages on your behalf. The types of damages that we pursue often include economic and non-economic damages.
What Factors Make Intersections Dangerous?
Car accidents at intersections can be some of the most devastating situations. With four flows of traffic intersecting and crossing in various paths, individuals may face a variety of dangerous accident scenarios. Rear-end, head-on, t-bone, and other types of collisions are all possible when drivers are careless or reckless at an intersection.
Intersections can be some of the most dangerous place while driving for several reasons:
- Pedestrian activity
- Confusing or complex traffic lights
- Drivers trying to speed through yellow lights
- Making unprotected turns
- Making illegal U-turns
- Drivers trying to force their way into a turn lane at the last minute
Intersections can also be one of the most common locations for motorcycle accidents and pedestrian accidents.
We help our clients by thoroughly investigating the situation and gathering as much evidence as possible. Between medical assessments, accident reports, and witness statements, disputed intersection car accident cases can become less of a hassle.

What is the Main Cause of Intersection Crashes?
Perhaps the most common cause of intersection accidents is running red lights. Any time a driver disobeys or doesn't pay attention to a traffic light or stop sign, they run the risk of entering the intersection at the same time as oncoming or cross-traffic. Whether this error arises as a result of distracted driving, aggressive or drunk driving, or simply a misunderstanding of the intersection rules, the results can be deadly.
Collecting Entitlements for an Intersection Auto Accident
Whether in a claim with an insurance company or a lawsuit against a negligent party, you may obtain economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages. Economic and non-economic damages are concerned with losses and expenses directly related to the accident: your medical costs for treatment, surgery, and rehabilitation, your lost wages, the physical and mental distress you suffered, and other damages to your quality of life. Punitive damages are entitlements meant to punish a company or person and make an example of a situation.
