Ontario Car Crash Lawyers
Intersections are junctions of multiple roads at the same point in space. By this very nature, accidents occur at intersections at an alarming rate. If you would like to learn more about your options for monetary recovery following intersection accidents in Toronto, contact our firm.
At Strype Barristers LLP, our lawyers have handled a wide range of motor vehicle accident cases for our clients over the last 20 years. In traffic accidents, one of the most dangerous locations is a road intersection. The potential for t-bone collisions, pedestrian accidents and rear-end collisions is staggering.
After a car accident, the clock begins ticking right away. After an accident, you will need to file a report and request accident benefits within 30 days of the accident. If you are a family member of an accident victim who is still hospitalized, it is important to talk to one of our Toronto car accident lawyers as soon as possible in order to meet important deadlines.
There are a great many contributing factors to drivers getting into accidents at intersections, including:
- Drivers not following posted signs
- Drivers racing through amber signals rather than preparing to stop
- Distracted driving or failing to keep a proper look out
- Drivers operating cell phones by texting, e-mailing or calling with the phone to their ears
- Drivers failing to look for pedestrians crossing the road
- Drivers attempting a right-hand turn without looking for pedestrians or bicyclists
Failure to keep a proper look out can involve many actions such as eating, adjusting the car's audio system or talking with passengers. If drivers are found operating a cell phone, there might be greater liability in the cause of the accident. If you are involved in an accident at a road intersection, we encourage you to contact a knowledgeable lawyer immediately.
