A large percentage of all serious car accidents occur at intersections. Drivers need to pay full attention to their surroundings and the behavior of other motorists in order to decide if it is safe to enter an intersection or not. Failing to do so can place liability for any collisions on the negligent driver.

Reckless driving that can cause an intersection accident includes:
While many intersection accidents are caused by speeding, neglectful, and intoxicated motorists, many more are caused due to poor directions and traffic signage at the intersection. Traffic signals are supposed to clearly direct traffic and prevent all accidents.
When they become faulty, it could send crossed signals to drivers, resulting in an impact. Other important signs, such as a stop sign, might become damaged, enshrouded by nearby foliage, or go missing, which also increases the chance of an intersection accident. The city or council tasked with roadway maintenance could be partially or totally liable for damages in such intersection accidents.
No matter what the cause for an intersection accidents, the party ultimately liable for it should be the one that pays for damages. In the event that you or a family member is involved in an accident, it is imperative that you have legal counsel on your side that is experienced in cases pertaining to traffic law.
