Car accidents at traffic intersections can occur for a variety of reasons. Some potential causes of these traffic intersection accidents include failing to yield the right-of-way:
at a traffic light
at a stop sign
to a Chicago Transit Authority bus or other municipal or city bus that is merging into the driver’s travel lane
for an emergency vehicle, such as a police car, fire truck, or ambulance
to a pedestrian who is lawfully present in a traffic intersection
to children in a school zone
by a vehicle that is in the process of exiting a parking space, garage, or alleyway
to a bicyclist who is in a designated bicycle lane
A Chicago car accident attorney can review the police report and any witness statements in your case. This is done to determine whether or not a particular driver has liability.
