What Happens In A Right Turn Car Accident?
Often, when a right turn car accident occurs, a person gets in a car crash because they make a right turn into traffic without enough time or space between cars to make the turn successfully. This can happen when someone underestimates the amount of space they need to make the turn, how much time it will take them to complete it or if they are distracted by something like texting and driving.
If you’ve been in a right turn car accident in Florida don’t hesitate to document the scene, talk to witnesses and collect their information, exchange insurance information with the other driver, seek medical attention immediately and file a claim with your auto insurance company.
Who Is At Fault In A Right Turn Car Accident?
Right-turn car accidents are common in Florida and can result in significant injuries and property damage. Here’s how Florida’s no-fault law can affect such incidents:
- Immediate Medical Expenses: After a right-turn car accident, regardless of who caused the crash, your PIP coverage will pay for your medical expenses up to the policy limits. This means you can seek immediate medical treatment without worrying about upfront costs.
- Lost Wages: If the accident causes you to miss work, your PIP insurance can cover a portion of your lost wages. This can be crucial for maintaining financial stability while you recover from your injuries.
- Limited Litigation: In a no-fault state like Florida, your ability to sue the other driver for damages is limited unless your injuries meet a certain threshold. Serious injuries that involve significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function, permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability, significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement, or death can surpass this threshold, allowing you to pursue additional compensation through a lawsuit.
- Property Damage Claims: While PIP covers medical expenses and lost wages, it does not cover vehicle repairs. For property damage, you may still need to file a claim against the at-fault driver’s property damage liability insurance. Determining fault can be crucial here, especially in right-turn accidents where factors like failing to yield or making an improper turn can play a significant role.

Filing A Claim After A Right Turn Collision
If you’ve had a right turn collision, you may be wondering what to do next. First things first, it’s important to document the scene of the accident.
If you have a cell phone and you are able to, use it to take pictures at the scene. Also, speak to any witnesses who stopped to help, safely off of the road, of course. Get their statements and information.
Next, get yourself to a medical professional as soon as possible. You want to be seen by someone who can understand the full extent of your injuries and tell you what to look for in case they get worse.
Finally, call your auto insurance company and make a claim. Speak to a representative who will help you through the process. Submit your documented accident and injuries, and wait for an insurance adjuster, who works for your insurer, to make a determination.
If you believe your insurance adjuster made a determination in bad faith, contact Florin|Roebig.
