Whether a motorist encounters a yield sign or fails to obey the right of way in another circumstance, they are negligent. When this negligence results in an accident, injuries, or even the loss of life, you can seek compensation for pain and suffering, medical bills, property damage, and other losses.
A Boynton Beach failure to yield car accident lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will lead your case. You worry about recovery. Our personal injury lawyers can take care of everything else.
When Is A Motorist Responsible For Failing To Yield?
Several statutes within Chapter 316 of the Florida State Vehicle Traffic Code require motorists to yield in certain circumstances. A motorist must proceed with caution when:
- They encounter a yield sign, and there is oncoming traffic that they would impede or strike if they moved forward
- They encounter a two- or four-way stop sign
- They have a red light at an intersection, or they are turning on a green light
- They are turning across traffic lanes
- They encounter pedestrians, road workers, bicyclists, or others who have the right of way
If a motorist fails to slow down, stop, or engage in other precautionary behavior when they are legally required to do so, they fail to yield. Such a failure can directly cause harm to motorists, passengers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and other victims.
Recoverable Damages That Result From A Motorist’s Failure To Yield
The cost of a car accident depends on the severity of impact, the extent of injuries that a victim suffers, and other factors unique to their collision. Our team serving Boynton Beach will diagnose all of your recoverable damages, which may include:
Pain And Suffering
The journal Frontiers in Psychiatry found that nearly half of traffic accident victims suffered “extremely severe” symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In addition to PTSD, your pain and suffering may include:
- Physical pain
- Depression
- Emotional distress
- Fear of riding in motor vehicles
- Lost sleep
- Lost quality of life
Some accident-related injuries can cause long-term pain and suffering. Brain injuries, chronic pain, and certain other injuries and symptoms may be particularly likely to cause severe, long-term pain and suffering.
Professional Harm
The consequences of your accident may extend to your professional life, causing:
- Lost income (temporary or permanent)
- Lost earning power
- Lost productivity
- Lost bonuses
- Lost promotions
Being unable to work may alter your career path, require you to change jobs, deprive you of the fulfillment that you get from your work, and lead to other unforeseen circumstances.
Medical Expenses
The National Safety Council (NSC) explains that the severity of an injury affects the cost of your car accident. Your medical expenses may be a significant portion of your losses, and may result from ambulance transport, medical imaging, emergency care, hospitalization, and other healthcare services.
Property Damages And Other Accident-Related Expenses
A car accident lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will consider all the property expenses resulting from your failure to yield accident. This includes:
- The cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle
- The cost of replacing damaged clothing, jewelry, sunglasses, phones, or other personal property
- Temporary transportation while your vehicle is inoperable
- Any other costs resulting from your collision in Boynton Beach
We have a proven investigative framework that ensures we will identify all of your damages. If you have yet to recover fully from your injuries, we’ll work with medical professionals to calculate the ongoing cost of care.
