Why Dangerous Intersections in Florida Lead to Serious Car Accidents
Florida is home to some of the deadliest intersections in the country. Many of them are located in high-growth areas like Brevard County, where increased traffic volume, poor visibility, and confusing traffic patterns contribute to frequent accidents.
Common causes of intersection crashes include:
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Failing to yield while turning left
- Speeding through yellow lights
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Obstructed views or poor signage
- Malfunctioning or poorly timed traffic lights
Even if you were following the rules, it only takes one reckless driver , or one flawed intersection design , to cause a serious crash. At Andrew Pickett Law, we’re here to help you get clarity and justice.

Types of Intersection Accidents We Handle
As a dangerous intersection accident lawyer in Florida, Andrew Pickett handles a wide range of crash types that commonly occur at intersections:
- T-bone (side-impact) collisions
- Rear-end crashes at red lights or stop signs
- Left-turn collisions in front of oncoming traffic
- Multiple vehicle pileups
- Pedestrian and bicycle intersection accidents
- Crashes caused by flashing or broken signals
Each of these scenarios may involve complex questions of fault, especially if multiple drivers are involved or traffic cameras didn’t catch the full event. That’s where our car wreck attorneys step in.
What Makes an Intersection “Dangerous”?
While any intersection can pose risks, certain factors increase the likelihood of an accident:
- High traffic volume
- Unclear or faded road markings
- Inadequate lighting at night
- Limited sightlines due to buildings, signs, or vegetation
- Lack of dedicated turn lanes
- Short yellow light timing
Some of the most dangerous intersections in Melbourne, FL include:
- N Wickham Road & Eau Gallie Blvd
- US-1 & NASA Blvd
- Palm Bay Rd & Babcock St
- Sarno Rd & Croton Rd
If your accident occurred at one of these locations, or any other Florida intersection, we’ll investigate whether local design flaws or negligent maintenance contributed to your crash.

"I am so very grateful to have had this firm represent me. I was in a car accident a few years ago, but the car insurance company of the person who totaled my car would not replace my car, nor pay for my medical bills. We ended up going to court and because of Mr. Pickett, we won the case. Thank you so much for all you did for us!!!!"
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Dangerous Intersection Accident?
In many cases, the at-fault driver is liable, especially if they were speeding, texting, running lights, or driving impaired. However, government entities or municipalities may also share responsibility if the intersection:
- Had a history of accidents with no action taken
- Included faulty traffic signals or signs
- Lacked proper road markings or lighting
- Was designed in a way that increased collision risk
At Andrew Pickett Law, we dig deeper to uncover all liable parties. That’s how we maximize your recovery and hold the right entities accountable.
Florida’s Statute of Limitations for Intersection Accident Claims
Under Florida law, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including car accidents, is two years from the date of the crash (as of the 2023 legislative change). If you plan to bring a claim against a government entity for negligent road design or maintenance, special notice requirements and shorter time limits may apply.
Don’t delay. Contacting a Melbourne, FL dangerous intersection accident lawyer as soon as possible gives you the best chance to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Dangerous Intersection Crash?
Every crash is different, but if you were injured by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation)
- Lost income and reduced future earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage to your vehicle
- Emotional trauma or PTSD
- Wrongful death damages, if a loved one was killed
Our team works with accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, and financial planners to ensure that every dollar of your loss is accounted for, now and in the future.
Florida’s Modified Comparative Negligence Rule
Florida uses a modified comparative fault system. If you’re found more than 50% at fault, you lose the right to compensation. If you’re 50% or less at fault, your compensation will be reduced by your share of fault.
In intersection crashes, insurers often try to shift blame, especially in left-turn or multi-car scenarios. That’s why working with a dangerous intersection accident lawyer is critical. We gather traffic light timing reports, witness statements, crash diagrams, and more to build your strongest case.
