When a driver runs a stop signal, they are at risk of causing a T-bone collision, which is one of the most dangerous types of car accidents. Victims are often caught unaware of the oncoming car and do not have time to react. The crash may result in heavy property damage, severe injuries, or even fatalities.

Why Drivers Run Stop Signals
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) reports that nearly 1,000 crashes where a participant is injured occur daily in the United States at intersections containing traffic signals. Many of these accidents occur as a result of negligence or reckless driving. Some of the cases that our law firm takes on involve:
- Drunk driving
- Distracted driving
- Speeding through intersections
- Traffic law violation
- Brake malfunction
- Signal Light malfunction
In many cases, the driver is at fault for running the stop signal. However, some car accident cases occur as a result of a manufacturer defect or the city failing to maintain the stoplights. Regardless of how your accident occurred, we can listen to your case and recommend a course of action for pursuing compensation when we represent you.
