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.

When Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. pursues drivers who cause side impact collisions for any reason, we will collect evidence of driver negligence. This can include testimony from accident reconstruction experts retained to help build the strongest possible case on your behalf. When we prove the liability of the driver that struck you, we move closer to winning the compensation you deserve.
