Common Types of Intersection Accidents in Albuquerque

One of the most common types of intersection accidents in Albuquerque is the side-impact, or “T-bone,” collision. These crashes frequently occur when a driver runs a red light, fails to yield while turning left, or misjudges the speed of cross traffic.

Side-impact crashes can be especially dangerous because the sides of vehicles offer less protection than the front or rear.

Rear-end collisions are also common at busy intersections. During morning and evening commutes, stop-and-go traffic along roads like Lomas Boulevard NE increases the risk that drivers will follow too closely or fail to stop in time when traffic signals change. Even low-speed rear-end crashes can result in injuries such as whiplash or other soft tissue damage.

Left-turn accidents are another frequent occurrence. Drivers attempting to turn across oncoming lanes may miscalculate gaps in traffic or have their view obstructed by larger vehicles.

These crashes often involve multiple vehicles and can lead to significant property damage and injuries.

In addition, intersection accidents in Albuquerque sometimes involve pedestrians or cyclists. Crosswalks and bike lanes add another layer of movement that drivers must account for, and distracted or inattentive driving can result in serious consequences.

All in all, intersection crashes in Albuquerque often follow recognizable patterns, particularly along major corridors such as Lomas Boulevard NE. Because intersections require drivers to slow down, yield, stop, and make turning decisions in a short span of time, they naturally present more conflict points than straight roadways.

If you or a loved one is involved in this type of crash, an Albuquerque car accident lawyer can carefully examine the circumstances of the collision, assist in collecting critical evidence, handle communications with insurance providers, and pursue full compensation for both immediate and long-term losses.

Damages may include emergency treatment expenses, ongoing medical care and rehabilitation, lost wages, and compensation for physical pain and emotional distress.
