FAILURE TO YIELD ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS

Experienced Shreveport Injury Lawyers Know What You Are Going Through

You have likely suffered very serious injuries from your failure-to-yield accident. When another driver fails to respect your right of way, the damage can be catastrophic. Whether you were a pedestrian, bicyclist, or even in another car, the defendant’s negligence should make them responsible for the accident. You should not be stuck with the costs when the accident was not your fault.

Many drivers fail to yield because they are distracted or simply careless. Others are speeding or engaging in other reckless activities. You deserve an investigation of your case to determine how the accident occurred and who is to blame.

A qualified Shreveport failure-to-yield accident lawyer can help you fight for your rights to compensation. You may be entitled to substantial compensation following a successful car accident case. Let our firm represent you.

What is Failure to Yield?

A failure to yield occurs when a person violates your right of way. It means that they were supposed to let you go first but they tried to go first instead. Yielding is an essential part of safe driving but it is one that many negligent drivers violate. It is an important protection to keep you and others safe. When another driver breaks the rules governing right of way, they are considered negligent and should be financially responsible for their actions.

For example, Louisiana Revised Statutes § 122 requires the driver within an intersection intending to turn left to yield the right of way to all others approaching from the opposite direction. This is a common scenario in which the other driver violates your right of way, turning left into your car. The damage can be devastating—especially when traveling at high speeds.

Other common examples of failure to yield include, but are not limited to:

These and many other situations may have played a part in your failure-to-yield accident.

A dedicated failure-to-yield accident attorney in Shreveport knows how to pursue financial compensation for you.

Reasons Drivers Fail to Yield

Drivers often fail to yield when they are supposed to do so. Negligence can occur for several reasons, such as:

Intoxication

Exhaustion

Aggressive Driving

Distracted Drivers

Teen Drivers

Intoxication

Drunk or drugged drivers cannot make safe and intelligent decisions. Their inebriation makes them likely to forget when to yield or not to unsubscribe notice oncoming traffic. They may even be aggressive and choose to violate your right of way. Either situation is serious and can lead to a dangerous car accident.

Exhaustion

Many drivers are simply tired when they get behind the wheel. A tired driver often exhibits the same slow reaction and perception problems as drunk drivers. The person may even fall asleep while behind the wheel. Exhaustion is especially common in commercial truck driving accidents. Often the driver’s employer forces the driver to work long hours and this leads to the accident.

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving, also known as “road rage,” can lead to purposeful violations of your right of way. When an aggressive driver fails to yield, the result may be a major impact leading to injuries.

Distracted Drivers

Distracted driving continues to be a common cause of failure-to-yield accidents. People are more focused on their phones and apps than on driving safely. These and other distractions take a person’s eyes off the road and their mind off safe driving.

Teen Drivers

Young drivers are often inexperienced when it comes to knowing the rules of the road. This is especially true when what they may be accustomed to as normal suddenly changes, as for example, when a traffic light goes out. Teens are especially likely to violate failure-to-yield rules because they are not yet fully familiar with them. Their negligence could be the reason you were harmed.

Whatever reason is behind the failure to yield, failure-to-yield accident lawyers in Shreveport are ready to pursue your claim.

Proving a Failure-to-Yield Claim in Shreveport

You must prove that the other driver’s negligence caused your failure-to-yield accident. You do not have to do it alone. The legal process is complicated and proving a personal injury claim can seem daunting for a non-lawyer. Instead, skilled attorneys can do this work on your behalf and seek the best possible outcome in your case. To prove negligence in a failure to yield case, we are able to:

Compensation After Proving Your Claim
