Who Has the Right of Way
Numerous factors govern right-of-way decisions. In an accident like this, the driver pulling into the street did not have the right of way. They must stop and wait for traffic to clear before entering the roadway. In some cases, the driver may have underestimated the speed at which they were traveling on the road. If that driver was operating at a very high rate of speed, for example, that could lead to shared fault in an accident like this. Failure to yield the right of way is one of the most common causes of accidents. Whether intentionally trying to beat the other vehicle or simply distracted, these types of accidents often result in serious injuries.
