Intersection Car Accidents Settlement Amounts

Collisions at intersections are as common as they are dangerous. Two drivers entering an intersection may collide head-on, sideswipe each other, or crash in a broadside impact at speeds that can cause severe injuries and substantial vehicle damage.

Our Maryland car accident lawyers see these cases almost every day. Many of these crashes are broadside collisions where there is little metal or cushion between the driver and the oncoming vehicle.

If you have been the victim of an auto accident at a busy junction or intersection, you already know how quickly these crashes happen. You are crossing through a light, waiting to turn, or moving through traffic like you have done a thousand times before. Then another driver runs the light, turns across your lane, or slams into you from the side. After that, the insurance company may act like the crash is a mystery and start looking for a way to blame you.

How Serious Are Accidents at Junctions or Intersections?

Auto accidents that occur at intersections and junctions account for a large portion of all of this country’s auto accidents. Although the rules of the road dictate otherwise, motorists run red lights, proceed through stop signs, and speed through intersections daily. The statistics behind these intersection collisions are evidence of this.

Consider that 43% of all auto accidents occur at an intersection or junction. Also, consider that 21% of traffic-related fatalities can be attributed to a collision at an intersection or junction. Further, nearly half (49%) of all accidents in urban settings, such as Baltimore or the D.C. metro area, occur at intersections or junctions. These types of accidents pose a serious risk to traveling motorists.

The danger is not just the number of crashes. It is the type of impact. A rear-end crash at a red light can throw your body forward and backward before you understand what happened. A left-turn crash can cause the front of one vehicle to collide directly with the side of another. A red-light crash can send a car into the driver’s door at full speed. A pedestrian or cyclist in a crosswalk has almost no protection at all.

That is why intersection accident cases often involve serious injuries: concussions, herniated discs, fractures, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, torn ligaments, internal injuries, and sometimes wrongful death. If you were hit in an intersection and you are still hurting, do not let the insurance company minimize the crash just because the vehicles were moved off the road and traffic kept going.

Which Intersection Accident Cases Lead to the Largest Payouts?

We answer this question in greater depth elsewhere, which probably sheds more light on the “What is my case worth?” question because the type of accident is less important than the injuries suffered or the venue of the claim. But our intersection car accident lawyers do see trends in settlement and verdict size based on the type of crash, too. These claims seem to lead to larger verdicts than some others:

• A driver runs a red light or a stop sign at an intersection and broadsides another vehicle
• A driver attempts to make a left turn or an illegal U-turn at a busy traffic light and cuts off oncoming traffic, creating multiple potential collision points
• Left-turn intersection collisions
• Pedestrian and bicycle crashes in crosswalks
• Crashes involving commercial vehicles, buses, delivery trucks, or government vehicles

The highest-value cases usually have a clean liability story, a serious injury, and enough insurance coverage to pay the claim. A red-light crash with video proof and surgery is a very different case from a disputed soft-tissue injury case where both drivers claim they had the green light.

Why Are Intersection Accidents So Dangerous?

Intersections are dangerous because too many decisions happen at once. Drivers are stopping, turning, accelerating, crossing lanes, watching signals, and trying to judge what everyone else is about to do. One bad decision can turn a normal trip into a serious crash.

Intersection accidents are particularly dangerous due to several factors:

1. Multiple Directions of Travel: Intersections involve traffic from multiple directions, increasing the likelihood of collisions, especially if drivers are not paying attention or fail to yield the right of way.
2. High Speeds and Sudden Stops: Drivers often approach intersections at higher speeds and may make sudden stops due to traffic signals or stop signs, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions or T-bone accidents.
3. Side-Impact Collisions: Intersections are common sites for side-impact or T-bone collisions, where the front or rear of another vehicle hits the side of one vehicle. The sides of a car are, in many ways, its Achilles’ heel. The front and rear are designed to absorb impact, with crumple zones and engine or trunk space acting as barriers. But the sides are much thinner and offer less buffer between the outside and the passenger. So, when another car slams into the side, it can cause significant intrusion into the cabin where occupants are less protected.
4. Complex Traffic Signals and Signs: Intersections can have complex signaling systems and road signs that may confuse drivers, leading to mistakes in judgment and accidents.
5. Pedestrians and Cyclists: Intersections are often busy with pedestrians and cyclists crossing, which adds another layer of risk, especially if drivers or pedestrians are distracted.
6. Limited Visibility: Buildings, parked vehicles, stopped buses, trucks, trees, road design, or other obstructions near intersections can limit a driver’s visibility and make it harder to see oncoming traffic or pedestrians.
7. Increased Congestion: Intersections are typically areas of higher traffic density, increasing the chances of collisions, especially in urban areas during peak traffic times.
8. Distracted Driving: Drivers may be more likely to be distracted at intersections because they let their guard down, check the traffic signal, navigate, text, adjust music, or look away from the road at exactly the wrong time.

Who Is at Fault in an Intersection Accident?

Fault in an intersection accident usually turns on who had the right of way. That sounds simple until both drivers say they had the green light, no one admits fault, and the insurance company starts looking for a way to blame you.

In some cases, the answer is obvious. A driver ran a red light. A driver blew through a stop sign. A driver made a left turn without yielding. A driver rear-ended a stopped vehicle at a traffic light. But many intersection accident claims are not that clean. The other driver may say you were speeding, entered the intersection late, failed to keep a proper lookout, or could have avoided the crash.

This is where evidence becomes everything. If you were hit at an intersection, your case may depend on traffic camera footage, nearby business video, dash cam footage, witness statements, police diagrams, vehicle damage, skid marks, black box data, signal timing records, and 911 calls.

The most important evidence can disappear quickly. A nearby gas station or store may overwrite video within days. Witnesses leave and never call anyone. Traffic camera footage may not be saved unless someone requests it. If you wait too long, the case may become one driver’s word against the other driver’s word.

Maryland’s Contributory Negligence Rule Can Decide the Case

Maryland is one of the few states that still follows contributory negligence. If the defense proves you were even 1% at fault, you may be barred from recovering compensation. That rule makes intersection crashes especially dangerous from a legal standpoint because insurance companies often argue both drivers did something wrong.

They may say you were speeding, entered late on a yellow light, failed to keep a proper lookout, could have braked sooner, or should have anticipated the other driver’s mistake. Sometimes those arguments are nonsense. But they still have to be answered with evidence.

This is why you do not want to treat an intersection crash like a simple insurance claim if you are hurt. The defense may not need to prove you were mostly at fault. In Maryland, it may only need to create a small fault argument strong enough to threaten the case. A good Maryland intersection accident lawyer will look for the evidence that cuts off that argument before it grows.

Evidence That Helps Prove an Intersection Accident Claim

If you were injured in an intersection accident, the evidence needs to tell the story clearly. If the evidence is missing, the insurance company will use that gap to dispute fault, causation, or both.

The strongest evidence in these cases often includes:

• Police report and crash diagram: The report may identify traffic controls, statements from drivers, witness names, citations, vehicle positions, and contributing factors.
• Photos of the scene: Pictures of traffic lights, stop signs, lane markings, vehicle resting positions, skid marks, debris, sight lines, and damage can help explain how the crash happened.
• Video footage: Nearby businesses, homes, buses, dash cams, and traffic cameras may capture the impact or the light sequence.
• Witness statements: Independent witnesses can be critical when both drivers claim they had the right of way.
• Vehicle damage: The damage pattern can show angle of impact, speed, intrusion, and whether the crash was a T-bone, sideswipe, rear-end, or left-turn collision.
• Medical records: Early medical treatment connects the injuries to the crash and prevents the defense from claiming the injuries came later.
• 911 calls and dispatch records: These can show what witnesses reported immediately after the collision.

If you are reading this soon after a crash, get medical care and preserve evidence now. Do not wait for the insurance company to decide whether it believes you.

What Impacts Settlement Amounts in Intersection Car Accident Cases?

When determining settlement amounts in intersection car accidents, there are a million possible relevant factors. Sometimes, the plaintiff’s lawyer does not fully understand the specific pressure points that led the insurance company to the settlement amount it reached. But these are the key factors our intersection car accident lawyers see over and over again driving settlement amounts.

1. Liability and Fault: Of course, it starts here. To get settlement compensation from an insurance company, you need to be able to win the case. So the first step is determining who is at fault for the accident. In some cases, fault might be clear-cut, but in others, it might be shared between parties.
2. Medical Expenses: This includes all costs related to medical treatment following the accident. Emergency room visits, hospitalizations, surgeries, medications, and ongoing treatments such as physical therapy are considered. Future medical expenses are also estimated and included if the injuries have long-term implications. Plaintiffs’ lawyers pretend we do not use medical bills as a marker for pain and suffering. We do. But you cannot be blinded by it. Some cases have low medical bills and high pain and suffering and a settlement amount has to reflect that.
3. Lost Wages and Earning Capacity: If the injured party misses work due to the accident, the lost wages during this period are calculated. Additionally, if the injury impacts the person’s ability to work in the future, the loss of earning capacity is a huge driver of settlement amounts in intersection accident lawsuits.
4. Property Damage: Another marker of injury that insurance companies really rely upon in determining compensation payouts.
5. Pain and Suffering: This is a non-economic damage and can be more subjective. It compensates for the physical pain and emotional distress suffered due to the accident. Calculating pain and suffering often involves complex legal formulas and varies widely based on the severity of the injuries and their impact on the individual’s life.
6. Insurance Policy Limits: There has to be money behind the claim. So the settlement amount is also influenced by the insurance policy limits of the parties involved. If the at-fault party has low coverage limits and our client does not have a strong uninsured motorist policy, it will limit the settlement compensation amount, regardless of the actual damages suffered.
7. Negotiation and Legal Representation: Hiring the best lawyer matters. The skills of the lawyers involved can significantly impact the settlement amount. Experienced attorneys can effectively negotiate and advocate for a higher settlement compensation payout because they know the value of the case, and the insurance company knows they will be a force to be reckoned with at trial.
8. Jurisdictional Factors: The laws and legal precedents in the jurisdiction where the accident occurred can also influence settlement amounts. Some jurisdictions are known for higher jury awards, which can impact settlement negotiations. In a serious injury or wrongful death case in Maryland, you want to be in Prince George’s County or Baltimore City above all other jurisdictions.

What Is the Average Settlement for an Intersection Accident?

The value depends less on the word “intersection” and more on the proof. A clean red-light case with surgery is worth far more than a disputed light case with short physical therapy. Fault, injury severity, medical treatment, permanency, insurance coverage, and venue drive the number.

A minor soft-tissue injury case with short treatment may settle for a relatively modest amount. A disc injury case with injections can be worth far more. A surgery case can be worth several hundred thousand dollars or more. A catastrophic injury or wrongful death case can reach seven figures if there is enough insurance or a collectible defendant.

The most important point is that the type of crash does not control the value by itself. A low-speed rear-end crash at a red light with minor treatment may not have a high settlement value. A T-bone crash at the same intersection that causes a brain injury, fracture, spinal injury, or surgery is an entirely different case.

You should also remember that Maryland’s minimum insurance limits are low. A case can be worth $500,000 and still be limited by a $30,000 policy if there is no uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage available. That is one of the most painful conversations we have with clients. The injury is serious, but the available insurance is not.

Intersection Accident Verdicts and Settlements

Here are examples of jury payouts and settlement compensation amounts paid to victims in intersection cases.

• 2024, Queen Anne’s County: $850,000 Settlement. The plaintiff was traveling south on a two-lane highway when the defendant, attempting to cross the highway, entered directly into the plaintiff’s lane, causing a collision. The case settled for $850,000. This significant settlement in a rural jurisdiction suggests serious injuries or excellent liability facts, probably both.
• 2023, Baltimore County: $511,400 Verdict. The plaintiff was actually standing just outside of her vehicle when the defendant proceeded through the intersection and struck the plaintiff’s vehicle from the side. The plaintiff suffered unspecified personal injuries. It is not entirely clear why the plaintiff was outside of her vehicle in the intersection, but the jury found that the defendant was negligent for running a red light.
• 2019, Baltimore County: $600,000 Verdict. A man suffered neck, back, and chest injuries after being involved in a T-bone collision. He alleged that the other driver’s negligence caused the collision and his injuries. The suit claimed that the other driver failed to maintain a proper lookout, failed to slow down, and failed to yield to his vehicle. A Baltimore County jury awarded $600,000, exclusively in pain and suffering. Often, a car accident lawyer will not seek medical bills if they are insignificant because of concerns the jury will anchor themselves to the amount of bills.
• 2019, Baltimore County: $413,487 Verdict. This is a classic left-turn case. A westbound vehicle made a left turn and struck a man’s eastbound vehicle at the intersection of Piney Hill Road and Monkton Road. The man suffered permanent injuries that required surgery. The other driver admitted liability. A Baltimore County jury awarded $413,487.
• 2024, Prince George’s County: $327,500 Verdict. While slowing to make a turn at an intersection, the plaintiff was rear-ended. She suffered injuries to her cervical and lumbar spine, including chronic lumbosacral strain and bilateral lumbar radiculitis. The jury awarded her $327,500. Rear-end collisions are often downplayed by insurers, but juries still value real injuries that are clearly tied to the crash.
• 2024, Baltimore County: $325,000 Verdict. An electrical engineer collided with a Baltimore police cruiser at the intersection of Perring Parkway and Hillen Road. The police vehicle, lacking activated lights and sirens, attempted a left turn across multiple lanes without yielding, leading to the crash. The engineer sustained injuries to his head, neck, back, and shoulder. The jury awarded $325,000. This case underscores how clear liability, especially involving government vehicles, can result in substantial verdicts.
• 2019, Montgomery County: $300,000 Settlement. Many intersection accidents are rear-end collisions. In this case, a Miller & Zois client was rear-ended while stopped waiting to merge. She seemed to have suffered no injuries. But, as often happens, it got worse and worse. She ultimately needed back surgery.
• 2022, Baltimore City: $219,500 Verdict. The plaintiff proceeded into an intersection on a green light when the vehicle occupying the left turning lane adjacent to her suddenly changed lanes into her lane of travel and caused a collision. The plaintiff reported injuries, including disc tears and herniations to her lumbar spine at L5-S1, which required injection therapy, as well as concussion and soft tissue cervical and thoracic strains.
• 2020, Baltimore City: $145,000 Verdict. The plaintiff was T-boned at an intersection by a driver who left the scene of the crash. The woman suffered radiating pain in her sciatic and back. She did not have surgery but received a good bit of physical therapy. Because the driver was unidentified, she hired a lawyer and sued her own insurance company for failing to step up and pay the appropriate amount of uninsured motorist benefits. Erie did what these insurance companies do: it argued she was not hurt all that badly. “You still do all of the family’s shopping, right?” type of argument. A Baltimore City jury set Erie straight and awarded $145,000. Sadly, she was capped at $100,000 by her policy limits. The jury was unaware of the limits.
• 2023, Baltimore City: $100,000 Verdict. The plaintiff was driving her vehicle at an intersection in a mall entrance with a co-plaintiff as her passenger, when their vehicle was involved in a head-on collision with the defendant. The plaintiffs asserted the defendant was negligent in failing to keep a proper lookout, failing to maintain a safe distance, and driving too fast. The defendant contested the plaintiffs’ claimed injuries and damages, arguing some were the result of a pre-existing condition.
• 2021, Montgomery County: $75,125 Verdict. A female pedestrian was struck at the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and Montgomery Lane. She suffered a concussion, soft-tissue cervical and lumbar injuries, and right-side bruising. The woman underwent physical therapy, chiropractic care, and neck ablations. Her chiropractor, not our lawyers’ idea of the best choice as an expert, testified that her injuries were permanent. But the plaintiff got a good award for those injuries, assuming they were not too serious.
• 2019, Baltimore City: $66,000 Verdict. A westbound vehicle ran a red light and T-boned a woman’s southbound vehicle at the intersection of McHenry Street and Monroe Street. The woman suffered severe and permanent injuries. She alleged that the other driver’s negligence caused the collision and her injuries. The woman claimed that the other driver failed to pay attention to the road, failed to slow down, and failed to yield for a stop sign. Following a bench trial, the Baltimore City judge awarded $66,000 in damages. It is really odd for a victim’s accident lawyer to agree to a bench trial in Baltimore City. No clue why this agreement was made.
• 2020, Baltimore City: $55,000 Settlement. A woman was rear-ended at the intersection of Hillside Road and Falls Street. She suffered unspecified injuries. The other driver died from unrelated causes months later. The woman alleged that the deceased’s negligent driving caused her injuries. This case settled for $55,000.
• 2016, Maryland: $54,000 Verdict. The plaintiff was awarded $54,000 for a torn ACL and MCL caused when an unleashed dog knocked her over. This was not a traditional vehicle intersection case, but it is a reminder that knee ligament injuries can have meaningful settlement value when the mechanism and medical proof are strong.
• 2024, Prince George’s County: $44,548 Verdict. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant caused a collision by failing to yield the right-of-way. The defendant admitted responsibility, and the case proceeded to trial solely on damages. The jury awarded $44,548, including $9,500 for past medical expenses and over $35,000 for pain and suffering. This is a textbook example of how juries often focus more heavily on pain and suffering than actual medical costs.
• 2020, Montgomery County: $42,911 Verdict. Two men collided with a police officer. Before the collision, the officer swerved to avoid colliding with another vehicle. Both men suffered soft-tissue injuries. They underwent physical therapy for several months. Both men alleged that the officer’s negligence caused their injuries. A Montgomery County jury awarded the two men $42,911.
• 2023, Baltimore County: $40,000 Verdict. The plaintiff was traveling northbound at an intersection when the passenger side of an eastbound vehicle, operated by defendant, collided with the front end of his vehicle. The plaintiff asserted the defendant was negligent, including in failing to keep a proper lookout, failing to maintain a safe distance, and failing to operate her vehicle at a reasonable speed. Liability was admitted but injuries were disputed.
• 2024, Baltimore City: $16,796 Verdict. The plaintiff was making a left turn through an intersection on a green arrow when the defendant failed to yield and struck her vehicle from the side. As the defendant was underinsured, the plaintiff filed a claim against her insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits. The jury awarded $16,796. This low verdict highlights the risk of taking smaller soft tissue cases to trial when medical evidence is contested or minimal.

You can also get sample Miller & Zois’ verdicts in broadside collision cases, many of which are at intersections.

Lessons From Intersection Accident Verdicts and Settlements

The verdicts tell the truth about intersection accident cases. Some juries award real money when the crash involves a red light violation, left-turn failure, T-bone impact, surgery, permanent injury, or clear medical proof. Other juries return much lower numbers when they think the injuries are not well proven, or the case has causation problems.

The difference is usually not the intersection alone. The difference is the entire case. Was the defendant clearly at fault? Was there a video? Were there witnesses? Did the plaintiff get medical care quickly? Was there objective injury proof? Did the plaintiff miss work? Did the defense have a contributory negligence argument? Did the defendant have enough insurance?

The best intersection accident cases have a clean liability story, fast treatment, strong medical records, visible property damage, credible witnesses, and enough insurance coverage to pay the claim.

What To Do After an Intersection Accident in Maryland

If you are hurt in an intersection crash, you need to think that evidence will disappear, because it often does.

• Call the police and make sure a crash report is created.
• Get names and phone numbers for witnesses before they leave.
• Take photos of the vehicles, traffic lights, stop signs, lane markings, skid marks, debris, and sight lines.
• Look for nearby businesses, homes, buses, or traffic cameras that may have video.
• Get medical care quickly if you have pain, dizziness, numbness, weakness, headaches, or limited movement.
• Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company before getting legal advice.
• Call a Maryland car accident lawyer early if the crash caused real injuries or if fault is disputed.

You do not need to have every answer before calling a lawyer. The point is to protect the evidence before it disappears and before the insurance company locks in its version of the crash.

What is the Definition of an Intersection?

An intersection is defined as having a crossing of two or more roads. In real life, intersection cases also include crashes at traffic lights, stop signs, crosswalks, entrance roads, merge points, turning lanes, and junctions where drivers have to make quick right-of-way decisions.

How Many Car Accidents Occur at Intersections?

Nearly 40% of car accidents occur at intersections. That number makes sense when you think about how much happens at one point in the road. Drivers are stopping, starting, turning, crossing, yielding, accelerating, braking, and watching for pedestrians at the same time.

What Is the Most Dangerous Intersection in Maryland?

Maryland has plenty of intersections where heavy traffic, difficult turns, poor visibility, pedestrian activity, and aggressive driving create recurring crash risks. Without current crash data, it is hard to rank them with precision. But these are locations Maryland drivers often recognize as difficult or dangerous:

• U.S. Route 40 and Maryland Route 715 (Aberdeen)
  • Near Aberdeen Proving Ground, this intersection sees a high volume of military, commuter, and freight traffic, leading to frequent crashes.
• Interstate 695 (Baltimore Beltway) and I-95 Interchange (Arbutus)
  • Technically a series of ramps and merges rather than a simple intersection, but it is one of the most confusing and crash-prone areas in the state.
• Annapolis Road (MD 450) and Whitfield Chapel Road (Lanham)
  • This busy suburban intersection is notorious for left-turn crashes and rear-end collisions during rush hour.
• Branch Avenue (MD 5) and Allentown Road (Camp Springs)
  • A major commuter route in Prince George’s County has a high incidence of serious crashes, particularly during morning and evening rush hours.
• Rockville Pike (MD 355) and Twinbrook Parkway (Rockville)
  • High pedestrian traffic combined with incredibly busy roadways makes this area especially dangerous for both drivers and pedestrians.
• Pulaski Highway (US 40) and Philadelphia Road (MD 7) (Baltimore County)
  • Fast-moving traffic and multiple commercial entrances and exits contribute to the chaos that leads to frequent accidents here.
• New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) and University Boulevard (MD 193) (Langley Park)
  • This intersection has a brutal mix of heavy pedestrian traffic, public transportation, and aggressive drivers.
• Route 100 and Snowden River Parkway (Columbia)
  • High speeds and unusual merging patterns cause a large number of high-impact crashes.
• York Road and Joppa Road (Towson)
  • Heavy shopping, commuter, bus, and pedestrian traffic make this Towson intersection difficult, especially during rush hour and weekends near the commercial areas.
• Georgia Avenue (MD 97) and Colesville Road (US 29) (Silver Spring)
  • This downtown Silver Spring intersection has heavy vehicle traffic, pedestrians, buses, cyclists, and turning movements packed into a tight urban space.
• Route 1 and Cherry Lane (Laurel)
  • This Laurel corridor has heavy commuter traffic, commercial entrances, pedestrians, and frequent turning movements, all of which increase the risk of intersection crashes.
• Crain Highway (US 301) and Smallwood Drive (Waldorf)
  • Fast-moving traffic, shopping-center access, left turns, and congestion make this Waldorf intersection a place where serious crashes are not surprising.
• Route 355 and West Patrick Street (Frederick)
  • This Frederick-area intersection sees a mix of local traffic, commuter traffic, commercial traffic, and turning vehicles, creating recurring risks for rear-end and angle collisions.
• Ritchie Highway and Jumpers Hole Road (Pasadena)
  • This busy Anne Arundel County intersection has a difficult mix of through traffic, turning traffic, commercial access, and drivers moving at different speeds.

The point is the same no matter where the crash happened. If a bad intersection design, poor visibility, missing signage, broken traffic signal, or dangerous traffic pattern contributed to your crash, that needs to be investigated early. Sometimes the claim is not only against the other driver.

Intersection Accident FAQs

Who is usually at fault in an intersection accident?

Fault usually depends on who had the right of way. Drivers who run red lights, ignore stop signs, fail to yield while turning left, or rear-end a stopped vehicle are often at fault. But insurance companies often dispute intersection cases, especially when both drivers claim they had the green light.

What if both drivers say they had the green light?

Then the case depends on evidence. Witnesses, video footage, traffic signal timing, police diagrams, vehicle damage, and 911 calls can become critical. If you were hurt and the other driver is denying fault, you should act quickly before the video is erased or the witnesses disappear. In 2026, it is easier to find the evidence in these cases than every before.

Are T-bone crashes common at intersections?

Yes. Intersections are among the most common locations for T-bone crashes and side-impact collisions. These crashes can be serious because the side of a vehicle gives occupants less protection than the front or rear.  The door gives you much less protection than the engine in the front, so a lower-impact side injury collision can be worse than a more serious impact in the front or back.

What is the average settlement for an intersection accident?

The value depends less on the word “intersection” and more on the proof. A clean red-light case with surgery is worth far more than a disputed light case with short physical therapy. Fault, injury severity, medical treatment, permanency, insurance coverage, and venue drive the number.

Do I need a lawyer after an intersection accident?

If the crash caused real injuries, if fault is disputed, if the other driver has limited insurance, or if you are being blamed for the crash, you should talk to a lawyer. Intersection cases can turn on evidence that disappears quickly. If your injuries are minor, it is a tougher call whether to get help from a lawyer, even on a contingency-fee basis.
