Common Causes of Dallas Intersection Accidents

Intersection accidents have various causes. However, some of the most common causes include:

Distracted driving: Motorists need to focus on the road at all times. Intersections need your full attention and distracted driving when approaching or moving through them can be deadly.

Drowsy or fatigued driving: When you are tired or sleepy, your reaction times are slower and you are less focused which can easily lead to an accident at an intersection.

Intoxicated driving: When a motorist is impaired because of drinking or using drugs, their view of traffic flow is often blurred. Crossing an intersection while impaired can result in a catastrophic collision.

Aggressive driving: When motorists act aggressively they may speed through an intersection or hastily go ahead of another vehicle when it is not their turn. Any type of aggressive driving increases the risk of being involved in an accident.

Malfunctioning traffic signals: When a traffic signal malfunctions at an intersection, it can cause chaos and lead to crashes.

Missing or confusing signage: If motorists don’t understand how to proceed through an intersection because of missing or confusing signs, accidents are likely.

Weather conditions: When roads are slippery or visibility is poor because of weather conditions, intersection accidents are more likely.

Common Injuries Suffered in a Dallas Intersection Accident

The most common type of accident that happens at a Dallas intersection is a T-bone collision. This happens when a motorist crashes into the side of another vehicle. T-bone crashes can result in fatal or life-changing injuries.

Some of the most common types of injuries in a Dallas intersection accident include:

• Traumatic brain injury.
• Spinal cord injuries.
• Broken bones.
• Internal bleeding.
• Organ damage.
• Lacerations.
• Scarring and disfigurement.
• Permanent disability.
• Wrongful death.

Many intersection accident victims require long-term, expensive medical care and may be permanently disabled. The physical, emotional, and financial damage to a victim and their family can be catastrophic.

Damages Recoverable in a Dallas Intersection Accident Claim

The type and amount of damages recoverable in a Dallas intersection accident claim depends largely on the severity of your injuries. However, in a successful car accident injury case, you should be able to recover economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages include your current and future medical expenses, current and future lost wages, property damage, and other expenses or damages incurred because of your accident and injuries.

Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional and mental distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other intangible losses and damages.

Economic and non-economic damages are intended to compensate an injury victim for their losses. Punitive, or exemplary, damages are not intended to compensate an injury victim but to punish a wrongdoer and deter future similar behavior. Punitive damages are rarely awarded in Texas. The law on punitive damages, also known as exemplary damages, is set forth at Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §41.003.

If the defendant’s conduct involved fraud, malice, or willful and wanton conduct, a jury might award punitive damages in addition to economic and non-economic damages.

At Bush & Bush Law Group, our attorneys work hard to recover all available damages for our clients.

Statute of Limitations for Filing a Dallas Intersection Accident Claim

A statute of limitations sets the deadline for filing a claim for recovering damages. If you miss your deadline, you will not be able to recover damages.

The statute of limitations for a Texas car accident as outlined in the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, is generally two years. That means you have two years from the date of your accident to file a claim.

However, there are exceptions to the two-year deadline so you need to promptly consult with an experienced Dallas interaction accident lawyer to determine your filing deadline.
