It seems like every year, we see more and more dangerous intersections in Tucson. It’s generally public knowledge which intersections are the most dangerous and have resulted in car accidents in the past. You would think that, as a result, the government would step in to remedy the situation. However, in most cases, they do not and Tucson car accidents, injuries – and sometimes even deaths – continue to occur at the same intersections.
With that said, drivers are responsible for their own actions. So not everyone involved in an intersection accident should bring a personal injury case against the government. However, there are certain cases that are definitely valid. But the reality is that the government vigorously defends itself – so, such a personal injury case should be brought only after careful consideration.
When considering whether to file a personal injury claim due to an intersection accident, it is wise to consult with an experienced Tucson injury attorney. There are many complicated factors that must be examined – such as the accident statistics at the intersection compared with the amount of traffic flow. In addition, a roadway design or maintenance expert must also be brought in to evaluate the case to determine whether or not a lawsuit should be pursued.
At Breyer Law Offices, we have experience dealing with personal injury cases involving intersection accidents and the government. If you have any questions, or are wondering whether you have a valid personal injury claim, please contact us. We can help.

Many individuals think that the most significant car accident case that Phoenix auto accident injury attorneys handle involves driving on the freeway. This is true in many cases; however, there are also numerous cases that occur in the intersections we drive through everyday.
Unfortunately, some of the injuries caused in these kinds of Arizona vehicle accidents can be severe and even result in wrongful death. When these kinds of intersection accidents do occur, a Phoenix personal injury lawyer will consider a variety of factors.
First, the accident must be fully reconstructed and an investigation must be conducted to figure out what or who caused the accident. Many people think that there is only one person at fault for an intersection accident. However, the injury law in Arizona actually divides up fault among anyone who contributed to the accident. As a result, one accident may be caused by multiple parties, or it can be caused by one person, including the injured person. Another factor that must be examined in intersection accident cases is whether or not the design or maintenance of the intersection played a part or caused the accident.
So, if you’ve been injured in an intersection accident in Arizona, there are really many different elements that need to be considered. Depending on the severity of the accident, you may need the advice and guidance of a Phoenix personal injury attorney. If you have any questions relating to a possible personal injury claim, please contact the Phoenix intersection accident attorneys at Breyer Law Offices. We can help.

ARS § 28 772 controls and governs vehicles and drivers who make left turns at intersections. Often serious personal injuries occur to victims of vehicle accidents that take place when either they or another party make a left-hand turn. It is extremely important in such cases where a left-turn accident has occurred to find a lawyer who handles Arizona personal injury cases.
Consider that under ARS 28-772 the person who made the left turn is usually found responsible by law enforcement officers that initially come to the scene of the car accident. It is usually the case that the left turning vehicle failed to realize the hazard of another vehicle as it turned left. The question of fault in a personal injury case involving a left turning vehicle does not end there.
Too often, people are swayed in personal injury cases by a traffic citation given by a police officer who did not witness the accident. Under Arizona personal injury laws, even if someone is found partially at fault, the other party may also be partially at fault. In addition, the traffic officer’s citation cannot even be admitted as evidence. Even if a person was given a traffic ticket, this does not necessarily guarantee that the insurance company for the ticketed driver will compensate the injured person fully. Quite often the insurance company will deny all or at least part of the fault. The same is true if a police officer tickets the party who sustained serious personal injuries. Even if a person was ticketed, they may have a valid personal injury claim.
It will often require an experienced Scottsdale, Arizona car injury attorney to evaluate whether personal injury claim can be brought after a left turn car accident in an intersection. Should you have questions about a claim, please contact us. We will happily answer your questions and provide the best information we can. We will give you the information you need to decide how best to pursue your particular personal injury claim. If we believe there is not a claim, we will tell you just that.

Many Arizonans believe most serious personal injury cases that Arizona lawyers take on involve freeway accidents. While this is often true, intersections that we drive through every day are where people commonly suffer severe injury and even wrongful death. When there is an accident at an intersection, there are many factors that should be considered by top Phoenix personal injury lawyers.
Firstly, a full reconstruction of the accident must be done to determine who contributed to the accident. Too often people consider that there is only one person who is “at fault” in an automobile wreck at an intersection. Arizona personal injury law, however, divides the fault among all the factors that contributed to the accident. In a Tucson intersection accident, there may be only one person who is at fault. In another situation, multiple people may have contributed to the serious injuries of an innocent car crash victim. In some intersection accidents, the person who was seriously injured may also share blame.
In other cases, it could be that the intersections is poorly designed or maintained, and that situation may have contributed to the accident. Since there may be a plethora of people who share in the fault of any Phoenix intersection car accident, it is usually the best course of action to find a top personal injury attorney in such cases. Finding a competent trial lawyer with personal injury experience who can give you honest answers to your questions is a vital first step for any party injured in an intersection accident.

In other words, it is public knowledge and well known which intersections are most likely to lead to serious injury or wrongful death for somebody who is innocently driving down the road. The government does not get off the hook when they created a dangerous intersection and failed to take steps to remedy that problem.
Certainly, people are responsible for their own actions. It would be all really simplistic to claim that anybody can hire any lawyer and simply pursue a dangerous intersection case against the government. The reality is that these claims are vigorously defended and should only be brought after careful consideration and with the help of a top personal injury lawyer in Tucson. First, the intersection’s statistics must be considered to see how dangerous it really is compared to the amount of traffic that flows through it. Next, an expert roadway design or roadway maintenance will often be brought in by a lawyer to help determine whether or not a lawsuit should be pursued.

ARS section 28 772 controls and governs those making a left turn at an intersection. Many serious personal injury victims suffer their injury in a car accident that took place when one party or the other was making a left-hand turn. Finding an attorney that handles Arizona personal injury claims in relation to left-turn accidents is very important.
First, consider that under ARS 28-772 the person who is making a left turn will very often be found responsible by the police officer who shows up at the scene for executing that left turn when another vehicle was so close to the intersection so as to constitute an immediate hazard. However, the question as to who was at fault in the personal injury case does not end there. Far too many people are swayed by the traffic citation given by the police officer in trying to determine whether or not there is a valid personal injury claim.
First, under Arizona personal injury laws, even if somebody is found to be partially at fault, the other driver may also be partially at fault. On top of that, the police officer’s citation is not even admissible into evidence. Therefore, the fact that the other person may have been given a ticket does not, in and of itself, guarantee that the other insurance company will fully compensate the person who has been injured. Many times, they will still deny all or partial fault. The same holds true in the other direction. In other words, the fact that a police officer gave somebody who is seriously injured a ticket does not, in and of itself, eliminate the very real possibility that there may be a personal injury claim that can be pursued.
Determining whether or not somebody has a right to bring a personal injury claim after a left turn intersection accident will often require the evaluation of an experienced and top level Arizona personal injury accident lawyer. If you have questions whatsoever about your claim or any claim involving a close loved one, please do not hesitate to contact us at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. We are happy to answer questions and provide information. We are also happy to give you the details that you may need so that you can decide how best to pursue your situation.

Many people believe that the most serious personal injury cases that Arizona attorneys handle arise on the freeway. While this is true in many cases, the intersections that we all drive through on a daily basis are an unfortunate but common cause of very severe injury and even wrongful death. When there is a terrible and tragic accident at an intersection, there are many factors that ought to be considered by top Arizona personal injury lawyers.
First, there is obviously a full reconstruction of the accident and investigation that must be done to determine who may have contributed to the accident itself. Very often, people naturally consider the idea that there is only one person who is “at fault” for an intersection accident. In truth, Arizona personal injury law divides up the fault amongst anybody who may have contributed to the accident. Therefore, in one accident that takes place at an intersection in Arizona there may only be one person who is at fault. Yet, in another situation, we find that there are multiple parties who all contributed to the innocent person suffering serious injuries. In fact, there are even times where the person who was seriously injured was partially at fault as well.
Also, there are some intersections that are dangerously designed or maintained that contribute to the accident. There are so many different players that need to be considered to make sure that all bases are covered on behalf of the injured party that finding a top personal injury lawyer that you can relate to and speak to and receive honest answers from is a vital first step when looking for an Arizona car accident injury attorney.
