Intersections are one of the most dangerous places to take risks in.

Even with a separate lane dedicated to making left turns at an intersection, it is dangerous to still try and make the left turn while looking for the gap when there are no cars. 

In Miami, an overwhelming majority of car accidents come from intersection accidents. Naturally, with the majority of the population driving cars and the constant rush hour, intersection accidents happen very often. 

Far too often do I hear about our clients getting into car accidents in Miami because they could not brake in time from a car suddenly crossing the intersection.

So when you get in a car accident in an intersection who is at fault? 

Right of Way in Car Accident Cases

When driving on the road, there is such a thing called the right of way.

It basically is an unspoken rule on the road but inherently understood. For example, at an intersection where there are stop signs and both cars stopped to wait for someone to cross, ideally the person that gets to the intersection first is the one that has right of way.  

When you get in a car accident in Miami on an intersection, the person that is driving straight will always have the right of way. So if you are the one that was making the turn at an intersection and you get hit by the car, since you did not have right of way, the car accident will most likely be your fault. 

But why is it my fault? Didn’t I get hit? 

The reason why it is most likely going to be your fault is because you were going into their lane. Since you are going into their lane, you are the one that has to be careful and make sure that the lane you are entering is clear.
