Woodbridge Red Light Accident Attorney

Lawyers Holding Negligent Drivers Accountable

Accidents that occur when one driver fails to acknowledge a red light or stop at a stop sign can be especially catastrophic. Most times, there is no warning prior to being struck which does not permit the driver to brace themselves for impact. When you are following the law as you are expected and another driver fails to do so, it can lead to a serious accident and injuries. At Palmisano & Goodman, P.A., we represent victims of car accidents who have been hurt by a driver who has run a red light.

Causes of Red Light Accidents

One of the first important steps in building your personal injury claim is to determine what caused the accident. We have more than 40 years of experience representing all different types of personal injury and motor vehicle accident claims. Our legal team has the necessary skill and knowledge of personal injury law to build a strong case on your behalf.

A few common causes of red light or stop sign accidents include:

Distracted driving: When a driver is talking on a cellphone, texting while driving, or is otherwise distracted.
Drunk driving: When the other driver had been drinking and driving.
Increasing speed/speeding through a red light: Many drivers increase their speed when the traffic light turns yellow, in an effort to miss the red light. One or two seconds of delay can result in an extremely serious accident.

What to do After a Car Accident

Once you have checked yourself and others for injuries, you should do the following:

Gather the other involved drivers’ information, including insurance information
Contact the police and fill out a police report
Take pictures of the scene of the accident, including damage to your vehicle
Obtain any eyewitness statements if possible
Contact your own insurance company and inform them of the accident
