OHIO RED LIGHT ACCIDENT LAWYERS

Injured By a Red Light Runner?

How old is the average child before they learn that green means go and red means stop? It’s one of the most fundamental rules of the road that’s instilled in every person from a very young age for a simple yet important reason – failing to head a stop signal will nearly always result in injuries.

While some accidents, like a fender bender, often don’t cause serious injuries, red light accidents very frequently result in serious injuries. Someone who runs a red light might T-bone a vehicle with the right of way, causing massive vehicle damage or even flipping cars. These are often multi-vehicle accidents where several cars and knocked into one another, potentially even leading to chain reactions where other vehicles slam into the crashed cars.

If a pedestrian with the right of way happens to be crossing, a red light runner can easily kill or seriously injure them.

Simply put, red light running is incredibly dangerous. There’s also no legitimate excuse for it to occur. Fault is very clear in an accident where you’re hit by someone who ran a red light.

The only problem can be if there are no witnesses or video of the accident. The driver who ran the red light can simply claim their light was yellow or green and you were the one who ran the red light. These cases can get contentious, which is why you may benefit from speaking with a personal injury attorney.
