Dangers of Running Red Lights
Most people run red lights when attempting to “beat” the light to make it through the intersection. They may also drive through a stoplight when drivers are distracted and fail see the light turn red when entering the intersection. Unfortunately, these accidents can be very severe, especially if you are T-boned by the careless motorist. However, you may be entitled to financial compensation to help pay for the following damages:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Wrongful death
- Auto repairs
If a driver has run a red light and hit you, you should not have to cover the resulting expenses out-of-pocket.
