How Common Are Intersection Accidents in Dallas, TX?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 40% of all accidents occur at intersections. In urban areas, these accidents can account for half of all accidents.

The Texas Department of Transportation reports there were over 35,000 accidents reported in Dallas in 2021, equating to approximately 17,500 wrecks occurring at Dallas intersections.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration, seven fatal crashes and over 1,000 injury crashes occur every day at signalized intersections in the United States.

Why Are Intersections Dangerous in Dallas?

What makes intersections so dangerous?

Here are a few key reasons why crashes are so common at intersections:

• Number of vehicles – Many vehicles converge at intersections. This means that people are vulnerable to the mistakes and careless actions of other drivers, including drinking and driving, texting and driving, speeding, following too closely, or breaking traffic rules. There may be a lot of traffic and little room to maneuver to avoid a crash.
• Other road users – Intersections include other road users like pedestrians and cyclists, which can create additional dangers. Drivers may not pay attention to pedestrians walking across a crosswalk or may even weave around another vehicle that is stopping for pedestrians.
• Unfamiliarity with traffic laws – Not all drivers are familiar with traffic laws. They may not know which driver has the right-of-way or when they can make a turn. They may not know how to interact with pedestrians or bicyclists. Accidents are more likely to occur when road users do not understand or follow traffic rules.
• Turns – Drivers may execute turns at intersections. Turns, especially left turns, are one of the most dangerous driving maneuvers. Drivers who do not yield to oncoming traffic may cause crashes at intersections.
• Aggressive driving – Dallas drivers may become more aggressive in heavy traffic. They may try to beat red lights or weave around other vehicles because they are in a hurry.

Although these factors can make intersections more dangerous, it’s no excuse for careless driving.

Who Is Responsible For an Intersection Crash in Dallas, TX?

Intersection accidents can be caused by various reasons.

Anyone who contributes to an accident can potentially be held responsible, which may include:

• Other motorists
• Motorcyclists
• Truck drivers
• Pedestrians
• Bicyclists
• Employers
• Transit companies
• Manufacturers of dangerous products
• Government agencies responsible for designing or maintaining the roadway

Because so many different parties could contribute to an accident, it’s important to investigate the accident and determine who was at fault for it. An experienced Dallas car accident lawyer can review the accident report, interview witnesses, analyze crash data, and review other evidence to help determine who is responsible for your damages.

• Head-on Collision
• Hit and Run Collisions
• Rollover Accidents
• T-bone Accidents
• Construction Zone Crashes
• Rear-end Accidents
• Parking Lot Accidents
• Multicar Collisions
• Single-vehicle Crashes

At the Jay Murray Car Accident and Truck Accident Lawyers, we know you weren’t expecting to be involved in a car accident and don’t want you to have to go through any other surprises. Therefore, we create a clear payment structure for our clients.

This is how our structure differs:

• We don’t charge any upfront legal fees or court costs like many other firms do. We will handle these expenses for you and only deduct them if we recover compensation for you.
• We do not charge for investigative work and employ a full-time investigator to assist with cases. Many other firms outsource and then bill clients for these services.
