If you were injured because a motorist ran a red light and collided into you, you should seek representation from an accident attorney. If you were involved in a crash we recommended contacting us before you speak to the other person’s insurance company. We will provide a free consultation and all representation is on a contingency fee basis. This means our lawyers only get paid if we win compensation for your case.
There are thousands of red light accidents throughout the United States each year. While most of these cases are resolved in a lawsuit settlement, many will end up in court. An experienced auto accident attorney will file an injury claim, negotiate a settlement and as a last resort file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf. More importantly they will protect your legal rights and handle the process on your behalf.
Red light crashes can be catastrophic and sometimes result in death. These accidents are especially dangerous because people standing at a corner of a road or near the collision are sometimes involved. Disregarding traffic lights are extremely dangerous for passengers, pedestrians, drivers and other motorists. When a pedestrian or a motorcyclist is hit because a motorist ran a red light, it oftentimes will result in severe injury and sometimes death.
Some of the most common types of injuries include:
- Broken bones
- Severe whiplash
- Spinal cord injury
- Lacerations from glass
- Head injuries
- Brain Injury
- Neck Injury
What makes these accidents so dangerous is the velocity at which these accidents happen. When a vehicle runs a red light the motorist is usually traveling at high speeds. The other vehicle that is involved is usually taken a slow turn or just started to accelerate. This increases the potential of severe injury due to high impact between the slow moving vehicles to a vehicle that is traveling at high speeds.
The most common types of accident involved in red light collisions include:
- Truck Accidents
- Tractor Trailer Accidents
- Bus Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Pedestrian Accident
- Commercial Vehicles
- SUV Accidents
- Public Transportation
- Taxi Cab Accidents
- Semi-Trailer Accidents
If you have been involved in an accident and have been hurt, immediately seek medical attention. You should also know your rights. You don’t have to speak with the other person’s insurance company until you’ve talked with an attorney.
