Fender-benders come in all types–side swipes, head-ons, rear-enders. But one of the more common, and potentially more serious auto accidents occurs when a driver makes a left hand turn. Left turn accidents occur when a driver crossing the oncoming traffic in the other lane collides with one or more of those vehicles.

Unfortunately, the left turn driver will be presumed to be at fault in the absence of evidence showing another cause. Some of the evidence at the scene of an accident includes whether the left turn driver gave a proper turning signal alerting other drivers of his intent, whether he had sufficient distance to make a safe left turn, whether he had control of his vehicle, or was there a turn light to protect him.

In Texas if the left turn driver can show that another involved vehicle was at least 50% responsible for the accident, he may be able to recover all or part of his losses and damages.

The skilled investigative and legal team at Gonzales & Gonzales works diligently to uncover the facts of your accident and to protect and win your claim for damages.
