🚗 6. Left-Turn Accident Lawyers
NJ, PA, DE & NY | Flynn Law
Left-turn accidents are one of the most common—and most misunderstood—types of car crashes. These collisions typically occur when a driver attempts to turn left across oncoming traffic and misjudges the speed or distance of approaching vehicles. While many people assume that the driver making the left turn is always at fault, liability in these cases is not always that simple. At Flynn Law, we represent victims of left-turn accidents across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New York, helping them recover compensation when negligence leads to serious injury.
Left-turn collisions often happen at busy intersections, during heavy traffic conditions, or when visibility is limited. These crashes can result in severe injuries due to the angle and force of impact, especially when the turning vehicle is struck by an oncoming car traveling at speed. Determining fault requires a careful analysis of traffic signals, right-of-way laws, driver behavior, and sometimes even video or witness evidence.
