Houston Intersection Accident Lawyer

Intersections are where fault gets contested hardest. Two drivers, two versions of what happened, and a green light that both sides claim was theirs. We build the evidence that settles it.

He-Said, She-Said, and Why Evidence Wins

Intersection accidents often come down to conflicting stories: who had the light, who had the right-of-way, who ran the stop sign. Without independent evidence, it becomes your word against the other driver’s, and insurance companies default to doubt when the story isn’t clear-cut.

Traffic camera footage, nearby business surveillance, and witness accounts can all disappear within days, which makes acting quickly especially important in these cases.

What Causes Intersection Accidents

  • Running red lights or stop signs.
  • Failure to yield when turning left, one of the most common causes of serious intersection crashes.
  • Distracted driving, missing a light change or a stopped vehicle ahead.
  • Speeding through yellow lights, misjudging whether there’s time to clear the intersection.

What We Look For

  • Traffic camera and nearby business surveillance footage
  • 911 call records and police reports
  • Witness statements gathered before memories fade
  • Vehicle damage patterns, which often tell their own story about the direction and force of impact

Frequently Asked Questions

1. It's my word against the other driver's about who had the green. Can I still win?

Often, yes, but the evidence is what decides it. Traffic camera footage, nearby business surveillance, 911 records, witness accounts, and vehicle damage patterns can all show who actually had the right of way. The problem is that much of this evidence disappears within days, which is why acting quickly matters so much in intersection cases.

It can. Texas banned red-light traffic cameras, so there’s often no automated footage of the light itself. That makes other evidence, business surveillance, witness statements, and physical evidence from the scene, even more important to gather quickly before it’s gone.

Failure to yield while turning left is one of the most common causes of serious intersection crashes, and the turning driver is frequently at fault, but not automatically. What the light was doing, who had the right of way, and the speed of each vehicle all matter. Evidence sorts it out.

Generally two years from the date of the crash, with limited exceptions. But the evidence that proves who had the right of way can vanish in days, so waiting to investigate is a much bigger risk here than the two-year deadline suggests.

Nothing upfront. Car accident cases are handled on a contingency fee, so there’s no attorney fee unless we recover for you.
