What is Failure to Yield?
Drivers must yield to drivers who have the right of way, allowing that driver to act first. The following traffic situations are ones that require drivers to yield, allowing the driver who has the right away to have the road and act first:
- Turning left onto a crowded road
- Coming to a stop sign, stoplight, or flashing red light
- Allowing other drivers to clear an intersection before you enter
- Merging onto a highway or other roadway
- Entering a round about
- Exiting your driveway or a parking lot
- Yielding to bicyclists and pedestrians
- Yielding to emergency response vehicles
Determining Liability
In the case of a failure to yield crash, you can determine who should be held liable by first identifying who had the right of way. Once this is established, liability can be clearly assigned to the party who failed to honor the right of way.
Your auto accident attorney will work to prove the at-fault drivers liability by gathering witness testimony, accounts from law enforcement, photos from the scene, and other evidence. Establishing who is at-fault can be simplified if the responding law enforcement officer issued a citation for the traffic offense.
