Usually the driver who failed to yield right-of-way: running red lights, ignoring stop signs, or making unsafe left turns. However, fault can be shared if the other driver was speeding or ran a yellow light.
Side-impact crashes are especially dangerous because the side of a car offers less protection than the front or rear. Occupants on the struck side face direct impact with less crumple zone to absorb force.
Property damage only: $5,000-$15,000. With injuries: $25,000-$75,000. Serious injuries (TBI, spinal): $100,000-$500,000+. Settlements vary significantly based on injury severity and fault.
Evidence includes: traffic camera footage, dashcam video, witness statements, police report, intersection surveillance cameras, and accident reconstruction experts for serious cases.
