Many of the most serious injuries that we see at the Law Offices of Samuel Fishman occur as the result of drivers making left hand turns without sufficient clearance. Often, these accidents will occur when a driver is rushing in an attempt to make a left hand turn before a traffic light turns red. Regardless of the reason, when a driver makes a left hand turn in front of another vehicle which is so close as to constitute a hazard, the driver making the left hand turn has violated Pennsylvania law. If you have been injured by a driver making an improper left hand turn, then you should contact the personal injury lawyers in philadelphia at the Law Offices of Samuel Fishman today.
Under 75 Pa.C.S. (2012), the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes state that: The driver of a vehicle intending to turn left within an intersection or into an alley, private road or driveway shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is so close as to constitute a hazard.
Our office has significant experience at obtaining significant monetary awards for clients who have been injured as the result of a driver making an improper left-hand turn. Our attorneys will often seek to have the defendant declared negligent “per se”, or negligent as a matter of law. This will help focus your case down so that the jury or fact-finder can focus on what really matters: your injuries, pain, and suffering.
Furthermore, it is important that any person who is injured as the result of a motor vehicle accident takes the steps necessary to protect their right to be appropriately compensated for the injuries, pain, and suffering that they have endured. Under Pennsylvania law, a two-year statute of limitations prevents an adult from bringing a lawsuit more than two years following the date of an accident.
