Notwithstanding the implementation of traffic lights, stop signs, and traffic surveillance cameras to strengthen safe driving, intersections are the most common place where vehicle accidents occur.

Pedestrians and bicyclists are especially at risk when drivers break traffic laws or fail to pay attention. Some of the most dangerous intersections in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida are:

Texas

  • Coit Road and the President George Bush Turnpike service road in Plano
  • Legacy Drive and the Dallas North Tollway service road in Plano

If a loved one was killed in an intersection accident, then the surviving family should pursue a wrongful death lawsuit to obtain justice and proper monetary relief for loss of companionship, funeral and burial costs, and other non-economic damages associated with losing a loved one.

What Types of Accidents Occur in an Intersection Wreck?

With an abundance of vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians venturing to cross intersections, a singular second of carelessness, negligence, or wrongdoing can cause a life-threatening, life-altering collision. If you have been tangled up in a crash at a Texas, Louisiana, or Florida intersection, it is important that you find out who was accountable. In some cases, the at-fault party is identified if you are more informed of the type of accident that is the basis of the crash.

  • Side Impact Collisions – Also recognized as broadside or t-bone accident. Such a wreck occurs when a vehicle is hit on its side by another vehicle. The immediate impact can cause critical injuries as well as a significant loss to the vehicle. The vehicle that was struck sometimes spins out of control, collides with another vehicle, and in some cases causes a rollover.
  • Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents – Drivers that are distracted or inattentive fail to watch for pedestrians or bicyclists at a crosswalk; thus, are more likely to engage in making a dangerous turn causing an accident.
    Rear-End Wrecks – If a driver fails to pay attention or is distracted it is not unusual for the driver to rear-end the car in front of them. This type of wreck is dangerous for the vehicle that was rear-ended as it can cause numerous types of injuries for the vehicle occupants.
  • Loss of Control – Poorly maintained or designed intersections can result in drivers losing control of their motor vehicles and, as a result, crash into other motorists. Moreover, if the city or state government fails to maintain, fix, or warn motorists, pedestrians, or joggers about dangerous road conditions, then they are accountable for the ensuing accidents.

Reasons Why Intersections Continue to Rise in Dangerousness

Intersections are dangerous for a variety of reasons, such as congestion and high volume. Regions of Texas, Louisiana, and Florida are densely populated; thus, are at an increased chance of creating more dangerous intersections.
