Side Impact Collision Causes and Liability
There are many reasons why a driver may cause a side impact collision. These include:- Running a stop sign or a red light.
- Distracted driving, which can include paying attention to a phone, passengers, food, or any other distraction instead of the road.
- Fatigued driving, where an exhausted driver might be too tired to notice cross-traffic or respond in time when the light changes.
- Driving drunk or under the influence of drugs, which can severely impact safe driving ability.
- Failure to yield to cars with the right-of-way, for example, when entering a highway or at a four-way stop intersection.
- A lack of traffic signs or electronic traffic signals to coordinate traffic safely. If a municipality does not install proper signage on the roads and it causes your accident, they could be a liable party in your case.
