Running a Red Light Can Result in Serious Injuries

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reported that running-red-light accidents accounted for over 840 deaths in 2018. Failing to stop at a red light is a common reason for car accidents and often results in serious injuries that have a significant negative impact on your life. Regardless of the exact reason for a crash, an at-fault driver may be liable to pay monetary damages for an injured person’s injuries and resulting losses.

The core of any claim for damages is a physical injury. You will need to use your medical records, reports from your doctors, and other relevant pieces of information to prove that you suffered serious injuries caused by the accident in question. Seeking prompt medical attention and consistently attending scheduled appointments for medical treatment, diagnostic treatment, and physical therapy as directed by your treating physicians will help demonstrate the severity of your injuries.

Your lawyer will be able to collect reports from your doctors regarding the nature of your injuries and impairments. This information will ultimately be used to prove the severity of your injuries in order to be successful in proving your case.

An Injury Lawyer Can Prove the Cause of Your Collision

There is no doubt that car accidents can inflict life-altering injuries. However, as serious as your losses may be, it will be impossible to collect compensation if you cannot prove that another driver’s poor decisions or negligence led to your injuries. In short, to recover damages, you must prove that another driver caused the accident.

One way to accomplish this goal is to reference any traffic citations the other driver received at the accident scene. If the other driver receives a conviction in traffic court for running a red light or pleads guilty to the offense, this fact could be used to support the cause of your collision. This can help your lawyer determine negligence, fault, and liability for your car accident case. However, your lawyer can prove a driver ran a red light even without a citation or conviction by presenting evidence favorable to you.

A Staten Island running a stop signal accident lawyer will collect all the evidence and information needed to strengthen your personal injury case. Depending on the details of your accident, it may be necessary to reconstruct your accident, talk to witnesses, and review traffic camera footage to prove the cause of the accident.

The legal team at Dansker & Aspromonte LLP Associates is prepared to take whatever legal steps are necessary to protect your rights and seek the best possible outcome for you. You can call our team today to begin a free, no-obligation case evaluation.
