Intersection Collision and Right-of-Way
When there is an intersection collision, several factors need to be considered to determine who is at fault for the accident. One factor is right-of-way. In Minnesota, as in most states, “right-of-way” is established by statute. The primary Minnesota right-of-way law is Minnesota Statutes Section 169.20.
Even though a driver may have had right-of-way, if the driver was speeding, the driver thereby forfeited right-of-way. This may be the case even if the driver was driving within the speed limit but at an unreasonable speed considering the circumstances.
Additional facts need to be taken into consideration to determine right-of-way and ultimately fault.
The above information on intersection collision and right-of-way is provided by Pritzker | Ruohonen, a premier Minneapolis personal injury law firm. The firm has a national reputation and has been interviewed by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and other publications.
