What Is Failure To Yield?

If a driver fails to yield, it means that they did not properly stop at a stop sign or yield at a yield sign. If a driver fails to do so, they could possibly cause an accident by hitting other vehicles that have the right of way.

A failure to yield accident can potentially cause very serious injuries. If it occurs at an intersection in which the driver with the right of way is traveling at a rather high rate of speed, the injuries can become very serious, if not fatal. If it is an accident in a neighborhood in which the speed limit is slower, there is still a potential for serious injuries, but they probably won’t be as serious as if the speed limit is higher (i.e. 40 mph).

You can read our Failure to Yield in Ohio page to learn more about the law related to failure to yield accidents. This page includes the Ohio Revised Code 4511.43 that explains the law and how drivers will be cited for failing to obey.

We advise anyone who has been injured in a failure to yield car accident caused by another driver to call a lawyer as soon as possible. If another driver failed to yield and caused the accident, they are deemed at fault and you deserve compensation for the injuries that you have sustained.

The lawyers at our office will handle a variety of issues related to the accident, allowing the process to be much easier for accident victims.
