Florida left-turn accidents: who is at fault, and how speed of the oncoming driver can change the outcome
Published · Last updated
Is the turning driver always at fault?
Record signal phases, lanes, visibility, vehicle paths and the source of each account. Those details help us compare the accounts of the crash.
How might oncoming speed affect the analysis?
Identify how speed was estimated or measured. Existing video, dimensions and vehicle evidence may assist technical review. Avoid unsupported calculations.
What should a 3D example demonstrate?
A future example should label assumptions and distinguish measurements from estimates, without implying it depicts a client case. No left-turn case study or outcome is presented.
Which evidence should I preserve?
Keep reports, original footage, witnesses, intersection photographs, medical records and vehicle documentation. Note gaps and uncertain details.
Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to a consultation?
Bring the crash report, photos, footage and treatment records you have. It is fine if your file is not complete.
