Intersection crashes are some of the messiest fault disputes there are, because both drivers often believe they had the right of way. Generally, a driver turning left must yield to oncoming traffic, so a left-turn driver who pulls out in front of a car going straight is usually found at fault. But signal timing, sight lines, and speed all factor in, and “usually” isn’t the same as “always.”
Why these cases need real reconstruction
Two drivers can each honestly believe the light was in their favor. Traffic camera footage, signal timing records, and witness accounts from people who weren’t in either car often end up deciding these cases, not just the drivers’ own statements.
