Red light accidents are more common than you think.

As a red light accident lawyer serving Memphis, Nashville, and the Mid-South area, I see it all the time. Every year, countless drivers are injured and killed by careless motorists who run red lights. It happens more often than you might think. In some cases, the drivers are reckless. In others, the drivers believe they can beat the light. Either way, the consequences of their rash decisions may stay with their victims for the rest of their lives.

Whether the other driver caused the accident because they were distracted, fatigued, inebriated, negligent, or something else, the consequences for the victim driver can be catastrophic. 

Common injuries from red light accidents

A red light runner accident can be traumatic. The aftermath of these accidents can include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Bodily injuries such as lacerations, broken bones, whiplash, or worse
  • Property damage
  • Earnings loss
  • Car repairs
  • Lengthy hospital stays
  • High medical bills
  • Ongoing treatment like physical therapy, chiropractic care, and more
  • Other forms of pain and suffering

If you or a loved one are involved in a crash resulting from another person running a red light, you should seek medical attention immediately. Then, you should call a red light accident lawyer you can trust, as you may be entitled to seek compensation for any and all of the above.
