Intersection crashes almost always come down to a dispute over who had the right of way. Drivers blame each other for running a signal, missing a stop sign, turning into oncoming traffic, or failing to yield in a crosswalk. Because the accounts conflict, insurance adjusters often look for any reason to shift fault onto you, especially at busy Broomfield crossings along U.S. Highway 36, 120th Avenue, Colorado Highway 121, and Midway Boulevard.
We build these cases on objective facts rather than competing stories. That means identifying signal phasing, lane markings, sight lines, and vehicle movement at the time of impact, then matching that evidence against each driver's version of events. When the physical evidence supports your account, it carries far more weight with an insurer than a verbal dispute.
We also evaluate whether more than one party shares responsibility, such as a driver who turned improperly while another was speeding through a stale yellow light. Intersection cases frequently involve shared or disputed fault, and sorting that out correctly affects what you can recover.
Evidence We Look For in Intersection Cases
The strongest intersection cases rely on evidence that does not depend on anyone's memory. We look at signal phasing and timing, nearby traffic-camera or business surveillance footage, lane markings, and the pattern of vehicle damage, which can show the angle and direction of impact. Event data recorders in modern vehicles can also capture speed and braking just before a collision.
We also gather witness accounts and examine whether sight obstructions, such as parked vehicles, signage, or landscaping, played a role in limiting what either driver could see. Combining this evidence helps establish a clear, defensible picture of how the crash happened rather than leaving the outcome to a he-said, she-said argument.

Broomfield Intersection Accident Lawyers FAQ
Who is usually at fault in an intersection accident?
Fault depends on which driver had the right of way, signal status, and how each vehicle was moving at the time of impact. We examine traffic signals, lane markings, and other objective evidence to determine what actually happened rather than relying solely on driver statements.
What if the other driver claims I ran the signal?
Conflicting accounts are common in intersection cases. We look for traffic-camera footage, business surveillance video, witness statements, and vehicle event data to support your version of events.
Can two drivers share fault in an intersection crash?
Yes. Intersection accidents often involve more than one driver making an unsafe movement, such as one turning improperly while another was speeding. We evaluate the full picture to determine how responsibility should be allocated.
Does it matter if the intersection had a stop sign instead of a signal?
Yes, uncontrolled or stop-sign intersections raise different right-of-way questions than signalized ones. We review lane markings, sight obstructions, and witness accounts specific to the type of intersection involved.
What should I do if I was hurt in a Broomfield intersection crash?
Get medical attention, make sure the crash is reported to Broomfield Police Department, and document the scene if you're able. Contact us for a free consultation before discussing fault with any insurance company.
