Losses in left paying turn collisions and other intersection accidents in Florida can be significant. It is not unusual for people who even have good car accident and medical coverage to find that they need to pay tens of thousands of dollars or even more out-of-pocket for their expenses. Even if you have insurance, keep in mind that insurance carriers are usually not eager to pay out the full amount possible in your case. You may need to speak with a personal injury attorney to find out about other options for pursuing fair compensation in your case.

Why Left Turn Crashes Happen

Left turns are intended to be very simple, but thanks to negligence or poor training some drivers make this simple task extremely dangerous. Left-hand turns, when executed properly, simply involve:

1. Getting into the right lane for a left-hand turn
2. Ensuring that you can make a left turn legally where you are
3. Using proper signaling to indicate to others that you will be turning
4. Slowing down your vehicle between 75 to 100 feet before you come to the intersection where you will be making your turn
5. Checking traffic to make sure that there is no oncoming traffic or other dangers
6. Completing the left hand turn

When a driver fails to take these simple precautions and causes an accident, they can be held liable for any injuries that they cause.
