Understanding Left Turn Collisions in Fort Lauderdale and Florida

Left turn collisions often occur when a driver is negligent in making a turn. This can occur because the driver is distracted or simply is not following the rules. Left turn collisions can occur if:

• A left turning driver does not yield to traffic
• A left turning driver does not signal
• The driver turning left turns in area where turning is prohibited

These types of collisions can be deadly. Unfortunately, left turn collisions often happen at busy intersections and can involve multiple vehicles as well as pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists.

Left Turn Traffic Accidents can be Very Costly

Even if you have excellent insurance, a left turn or intersection accident in your community can be extremely expensive, costing you:

• Medical bills
• Income loss
• Future expected income opportunities lost
• Emergency medical costs
• Out-of-pocket incidental costs
• Property damage
• Car replacement or car repairs
• Transportation while your car is in the shop
• Rental cars
• Medical and pharmaceutical devices
• Medication
• At-home or long-term care
• Medical services, such as rehabilitation, therapy, physical therapy, and other treatment options

How will you pay for these costs? Even if you have medical coverage and car insurance, there are caps placed on personal injury protection coverage limits on the types of things that are covered by your policy. In fact, the more serious your injuries are the more likely it is that your car insurance company will not want to pay out the maximum amount possible. After all, insurance companies cannot make the largest profits if they pay the maximum possible in every case.

You need to speak with a personal injury attorney who can protect your interests and can help you understand how much your case may be worth. A good personal injury attorney can aggressively fight on your behalf and pursue full compensation in your situation.
