Intersection accidents in Texas represent some of the most complex and devastating traffic incidents on our roads, often involving multiple vehicles, disputed liability, and life-altering injuries. These crashes occur when drivers fail to yield right-of-way, run red lights, or misjudge traffic patterns at busy crossroads throughout the Lone Star State. Unlike straightforward rear-end collisions, intersection accidents require extensive investigation to determine fault, as each party may claim they had the right-of-way.

An intersection accident can unexpectedly upend your life. In the blink of an eye, a routine stop or turn can lead to a serious collision with another vehicle or even multiple vehicles, resulting in injuries and property damage—and countless questions about what went wrong and who was at fault.
Intersection accidents in Texas present their own set of legal challenges. Determining fault is rarely straightforward due to factors like traffic signal violations, right-of-way disputes, and the possibility of drivers arguing over who entered the intersection first or who had the green light. Conflicting stories are common, and even witness accounts can be unreliable—people may misremember the sequence of events or be influenced by their vantage point.
These cases often require careful analysis of police reports, traffic camera footage (if available), and physical evidence from the scene. Insurance companies know how complicated these claims can be and often try to exploit the gray areas. They may assert that you were partially or wholly at fault, deny your claim based on questionable evidence, or attempt to settle for far less than you deserve.
That’s why Michael Piri is dedicated to supporting Texas drivers involved in intersection accidents. He is well-versed in unraveling the complexities at play, gathering crucial traffic data, challenging unreliable witness accounts, and countering insurance company tactics. Michael’s experience helps ensure that your story is heard and your rights are protected every step of the way.
