New Jersey Intersection Accident Attorneys
Collision at an Intersection
Intersections are one of the most common locations for car accidents. The average intersection could have traffic lights, stop signs, or yield signs, but accidents still happen. Regardless of what traffic lights or signs are posted, there are some drivers who still recklessly drive through intersections. This especially happens in situations where drivers have been drinking or are under the influence of drugs.
About 40 percent of all car collisions in the United States happen at intersections. These accidents are a big problem here in New Jersey. Intersection accidents are the third most common type of New Jersey car accident. Between 2008 and 2012, over 1,000 people died in intersection accidents here in the The Garden State. Essex, Middlesex, and Ocean counties report the highest number of intersection accidents each year.
