Failure-to-Yield Accident Causes Injuries
We have written about failure-to-yield accidents several times in our blog.
Failure to Yield is when a driver does not properly stop at a stop sign or yield at a yield sign. Doing so can cause a motorist to hit another vehicle that does have the right of way. These types of accidents can cause serious injury and damages.
The Ohio Revised Code 4511.43 Right-of-way at through highways, stop signs, yield signs explains this section of the law and the consequences drivers face if they fail to obey.
The important thing for anyone injured in a failure-to-yield accident to know is that they should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. When a driver disobeys a section of the law, they should be held accountable for the injuries and damages it has brought onto others.
