Pembroke Pines Intersection Accidents

Stop signs, traffic lights, road design, and road rules are not always enough to prevent intersection accidents in Pembroke Pines and across Florida. Unfortunately, motorists who are in a hurry, are distracted, or drive inebriated sometimes ignore traffic signals, lights, and laws and drive recklessly in a way that causes an accident. Intersections are especially likely spots for accidents because there are so many cars and road users within a relatively small space. At intersections, it is especially important that drivers obey the law and drive carefully.

If you have been injured in a traffic accident due to someone's negligence or recklessness, Florida law allows you to seek compensation for lost wages, pain and suffering, medical bills, and other expenses.

A very common injury that occurs with intersection collisions is whiplash. Whiplash is a soft tissue injury that takes place if your neck is forcefully and suddenly jerked forward or out of position. In a traffic accident, whiplash is often caused by you being jolted forward and then your seatbelt pushing you back in place. This type of injury can limit mobility and can cause you severe pain and suffering as you heal.

You probably approach intersections every day on your commute and don't think twice about it. But in fact intersections are one of the deadliest places for you to be. Each day and each year, people are fatally injured or suffer severe and permanent injury due to pedestrian accidents and other types of traffic accidents that occur at intersections. Many of these accidents, unfortunately, are fully preventable and are caused by distracted driving, drunk driving, and other forms of negligence.
