Effective Intersection Accident Representation For The Injured

Our traffic control systems rely heavily on intersections — managed by traffic lights and stop signs — to keep traffic flowing and protect drivers, passengers and pedestrians. When drivers are inattentive, reckless or otherwise negligent, accidents happen that often results in serious and catastrophic injuries.

If you or a loved one has been hurt in an intersection accident, it is important to realize that you have rights, which may include the ability to obtain financial compensation from a personal injury claim to cover damages, including medical bills and lost wages.

At Isenberg & Hewitt, PC, in Atlanta, we have more than 25 years of personal injury experience and serve as strong advocates for injury victims and their families. You can rely on us for attentive personal service and representation focused on achieving the best possible settlement or verdict.

Causes Of Intersection Car Wrecks

In a study commissioned by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), it was found that intersection accidents are most commonly caused by:

Inattention
Distractions inside and outside of the vehicle
Inadequate assessment of surroundings
Speeding/driving too fast for present conditions
Aggressive driving
Turns with obstructed view
Illegal driving maneuvers

The Governor’s Office Of Highway Safety In Georgia notes that due to these and other causes, in 2020, 26% of all fatal crashes in Georgia involved intersections. The number of intersection-related multi-vehicle fatal crashes increased by 11% from 2016 to 2020.
