When a driver runs a red light, this is likely to create a significant risk of a collision since other motorists won’t expect that motorist to be in their path.
The driver who runs the red is presumed to be responsible for causing any resulting crash because he has violated the rules of the road. However, victims will still need to pursue a claim for damages and resolve their case either through settlement or through proving in court that the driver who ran the signal should be held accountable for the damage they have endured.
