When Reckless and Negligent Motorists Refuse to Follow the Rules of the Road, They Put Everyone’s Safety at Risk. The Dietrich Law Firm P.C.

---

Studies have found that a disproportionate number of accidents occur at intersections, with many of these collisions caused by impatient drivers’ refusal to respect the rules of the road. If you, or a loved one, have been injured by a motorist who tried to take a right turn at a red light when they did not have the right-of-way, you could be entitled to significant compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. However, securing sufficient compensation can pose unexpected challenges. Even if you have a seemingly open-and-shut case, the insurance company could try to reduce its liability by claiming that your own negligence contributed to the crash.

The Dietrich Law Firm P.C. believes that nobody should have to pay the price for another motorist’s bad decision. Our award-winning team of attorneys is committed to providing the highest level of personal injury service. Since 2005, we have helped our clients across Rochester and Western New York secure more than $175 million in damages from insurance companies, reckless motorists, and irresponsible municipal corporations. You do not have to suffer in silence. Please send the Dietrich Law Firm P.C. a message online or call us at 585-939-3939 to schedule your free, no-obligation consultation as soon as possible.

Failure to Yield Right on Red Accident Statistics and Safety Concerns

Every state in the country has allowed right turns on red since 1980, except where prohibited by a sign or dedicated traffic control signal. By and large, right turns on red pose little risk when safely executed. In a multi-state review of accident data, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that:

1. Right turn on red crashes constitute only 0.05% of accidents nationwide;
2. Right turn on red accidents account for 0.4% of collisions at intersections with traffic control signals and signs; and
3. Right turn on red collisions represent only 1% of all fatal and injury accidents.

However, the risks of improper right turn on red maneuvers are not shared equally:

1. An estimated 22% of all right turn on red crashes involve victims who are not in motor vehicles;
2. When right turn on red crashes happen, the victim is frequently a pedestrian or bicyclist; and
3. About 93% of all right turn on red collisions involving bicyclists or pedestrians result in injury.

Your Potential Damages After a Failure to Yield Right on Red Car Crash

Unfortunately, even minor collisions can wreak havoc in a victim’s life, preventing them from going to work and participating in everyday activities. The Dietrich Law Firm P.C. could help you assess the value of your claim by considering the totality of your:

1. Economic Damages: Economic damages compensate accident victims for the financial hardships they have experienced as a result of an accident. In general, economic damages are objective and relate to paid and anticipated expenses. Examples of economic damages include medical bills, property damage, and physical therapy costs.

2. Non-Economic Damages: Non-economic damages are less tangible and comparably subjective, making them more difficult to assess properly. Examples of non-economic damages include emotional pain and suffering, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment.

Call the Dietrich Law Firm P.C. today so that we can help you recover damages for:

1. Past, present, and anticipated medical expenses;
2. Physical rehabilitation;
3. Prescription medication co-pays;
4. Specialist appointments;
5. Lost income;
6. The vacation days and paid time off you needed to use during your recovery;
7. Emotional pain and suffering;
8. Loss of enjoyment;
9. Disability; and
10. Wrongful death.
