Traffic violations don’t just result in tickets—they can lead to serious accidents and legal consequences. If you’ve been injured in a crash caused by someone else’s unlawful driving, you may be entitled to file a personal injury claim. At Pyramid Legal, we help victims understand their rights and fight for the compensation they deserve when a traffic violation leads to a personal injury case.
How Traffic Violations Cause Accidents
Many accidents happen because a driver breaks the law or fails to follow safe driving practices. Common violations that can cause injuries include:
Speeding
Exceeding the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of a crash.
Running Red Lights or Stop Signs
Ignoring traffic signals can result in dangerous T-bone collisions or pedestrian accidents.
Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Drugs or alcohol impair judgment and coordination, making crashes far more likely.
Reckless or Distracted Driving
Texting, aggressive lane changes, or tailgating can all result in preventable accidents.
How Traffic Violations Can Strengthen Your Injury Claim
When a driver breaks the law and causes a crash, their violation can serve as evidence of negligence in your case. This can help:
Establish fault more easily
Strengthen your case for compensation
Pressure the insurance company to settle
If the police report, witness statements, or traffic camera footage confirm a violation, it greatly increases your chances of success.
What You Should Do After the Accident
Seek Medical Attention
Even if your injuries seem minor, get checked by a medical professional immediately.
Get a Police Report
Request a copy of the report, as it may include citations or charges against the at-fault driver.
Collect Evidence
Take photos, gather witness information, and keep records of any communication with insurers.
Contact a Personal Injury Attorney
Legal representation is essential to ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled properly.
