A high number of automobile accidents happen at intersections, causing serious injuries and deaths. Collisions at intersections involving cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, bicycles and pedestrians are caused by many factors including speeding, drunk driving, distractions like cell phone use and texting, failure to obey traffic laws and poor road maintenance.

Many motor vehicle accidents at intersections involve left-turning vehicles attempting to cross on-coming traffic, the failure to yield the right of way and ignoring stop signs. Over 40% of fatal automobile accidents involve driving through a stop sign or ignoring a traffic light at intersections. A collision at an intersection can result in devastating injuries like traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones or amputations, severe burns and death.

Missing, faded or obscured stop signs are also responsible for many accidents at intersections. The experienced automobile accident attorneys at The Cochran Firm have design engineers, accident investigators and experts in the dynamics of car accidents available to expose negligence on the part of municipalities responsible for a dangerous intersection and will hold them legally responsible for the injuries and fatalities caused by poorly designed or maintained intersections.
