Dangerous Intersection Accidents in Phoenix, AZ

Intersections are one of the most dangerous points on the road, and therefore, some of the most common locations where motor vehicle accidents occur. The US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration reports that more than 50 percent of the combined total of fatal and injury crashes occur at or near intersections. Intersections that involve more than two streets intersecting can be especially dangerous. 

Drivers approaching an intersection need to be especially vigilant in order to avoid a collision. In an intersection, drivers must pay attention to the actions of both other drivers and pedestrians while looking for signs and traffic signals telling them when and where to proceed. Often, intersection accidents occur because a driver either disobeyed a traffic signal or failed to yield the right of way. At times, accidents that occur in intersections are not the fault of the driver but are directly related to the design of the intersection itself. Issues related to signs, traffic signals, and road markings can create conditions that make an accident likely. In such cases, a government entity may be liable.

Whatever the circumstances surrounding the collision, experiencing a car accident can be both painful and traumatic. A serious car accident can cause not only physical pain and injury but also complications in your personal life, from relationships to employment. Your life can effectively be turned upside-down overnight. Trying to navigate the legal and insurance system can be both stressful and time-consuming.

What Makes Some Intersections More Dangerous than Others?

While all intersections pose a higher risk of a car accident, some are more dangerous than others. Intersections with high traffic volume have a higher risk of a car accident. 

Additional factors that contribute to a particularly dangerous intersection include:

• Unclear or confusing signage
• Lack of traffic signals
• Difficult merging
• Poorly maintained roads
• Unclear or poorly maintained sidewalks and bicycle lanes
• Objects such as a tree or pole that obstruct the driver’s view

Our experienced team at Phillips Law Group can investigate the circumstances at the time of the accident and factors that may have contributed to it. We can help you collect the evidence we need to demonstrate the liable party’s negligence.

Car Accidents That Typically Occur in Intersections

Side-impact or T-bone crashes are common accidents in intersections. This type of accident is usually caused by a distracted driver or one who has misjudged the speed or distance of an oncoming vehicle. Rear-end collisions are also common, often caused by an inattentive or aggressive driver.

The injuries sustained in intersection car accidents can range in severity. Conditions that are not directly life-threatening, such as whiplash or PTSD, are still traumatic and can greatly impact your quality of life.

More serious injuries may include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Broken bones
• Lung contusions
• Fractured ribs
• Internal organ injuries
• Spinal cord trauma
• Facial lacerations

Recovering Compensation in a Dangerous Intersection Accident

Any compensation you receive in a dangerous intersection accident will depend on your specific case as well as the extent of your injuries. However, in general, you may qualify to obtain restitution for:

• Present, past, and future medical expenses
• Lost income and future lost income
• Reduced earning capacity
• Physical pain and suffering
• Inconvenience
• Emotional distress
• Disability
• Medication
• Physical therapy 
• Property damage
• Out-of-pocket costs related to the accident
• Loss of enjoyment of life

If you have been in an intersection car accident, it is critical that you take timely action if you are looking to recover compensation. Deadlines often apply for filing a personal injury or wrongful death claim. Do not delay in contacting your dangerous intersection car accident lawyer after a collision. Timely action will help you to preserve evidence and give you and your lawyer the time required to investigate and build your case.

The Statute of Limitations on Arizona Car Accident Claims

A statute of limitations in effect says that you have a set amount of time after an incident or accident in which you can file a lawsuit or take legal action. In general, drivers in Arizona have 2 years to take legal action for injuries suffered in a car accident under AZ  § 12-542. This means that you have 2 years from the time of the accident to decide to pursue legal action on all personal injury suits and claims.

If you are unsure which path to compensation to take, you should seek the advice of an experienced dangerous intersection car accident lawyer. Our legal team at Phillips Law Group can help you better understand what legal recourse is available to you as well as navigate the insurance claim process.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

Erika A.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group.

From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.
