Speeding and Intersections
Consider: In many states the driver of a motor vehicle speeding through an intersection forfeits his/her right-of-way. In other words, you have a green light but are speeding through an intersection when T-boned by a driver who ran the red light: both drivers are now liable for sharing in the financial costs of that crash. This is called “shared liability,” and in serious motor vehicle crashes insurance companies will seek to minimize their costs by finding fault where fault can be found.
