Intersection crashes are rarely simple. Drivers on both sides usually say the other ran the light, failed to yield, or turned into their path. Insurance companies know these conflicts favor them if the only evidence is two drivers pointing fingers, so we start by working to pin down what actually happened at the moment of impact.
That means establishing signal status, which vehicle had the right of way, how fast each car was moving, and whether a turning movement or lane conflict caused the crash. We look at the physical layout of the intersection, the traffic controls in place, and how the vehicles came to rest, because those details often tell a more reliable story than memory alone.
Once we have a clear picture of fault, we deal directly with the insurance adjusters so you don't have to argue your version of events while you're trying to recover. We handle the back-and-forth on liability and push for a resolution that reflects what actually happened at that intersection.
What Evidence Matters at an Intersection
Because intersection cases turn on timing and positioning, we move to secure signal phasing information, traffic-camera or nearby business video, and the physical layout of lane markings before that evidence disappears or gets overwritten. Vehicle damage patterns can also show the angle and direction of impact, which often supports or contradicts a driver's account of how the crash happened.
We also look at witness accounts, any sight obstructions near the intersection that may have limited a driver's view, and event data recorders that capture speed and braking just before the collision. Together, this evidence helps replace competing stories with an objective account of who had the right of way and who didn't.

Englewood Intersection Accident Lawyers FAQ
Who is usually at fault in an intersection accident?
Fault depends on signal status, right of way, and each driver's movement through the intersection. We look at objective evidence like video, signal phasing, and vehicle damage to determine which driver failed to yield or ran a signal.
What if the other driver claims I ran the light?
This is common in intersection cases, and it's exactly why evidence matters. Traffic camera footage, witness accounts, and vehicle damage patterns can help establish what actually happened rather than relying on conflicting statements.
Does it matter if the intersection had a stop sign instead of a signal?
Yes. Stop-sign intersections involve different right-of-way rules than signal-controlled ones, and we examine the specific traffic controls in place to determine who had the duty to yield.
Can a turning vehicle be at fault even if the light was green?
Yes. A driver turning left or right generally must yield to oncoming traffic or pedestrians, and a green light doesn't eliminate that duty. We look closely at turning movements and lane position to establish fault.
What should I do if there were no witnesses to the crash?
Even without witnesses, evidence like traffic camera footage, business security video, vehicle damage, and event data recorders can help reconstruct what happened. We work to identify and secure this evidence before it becomes unavailable.
