Fort Myers Intersection Accidents

Intersection and left-turn accidents are among the most common causes of serious injuries in Fort Myers. Traffic growth, seasonal visitors, and complex roadway layouts contribute to collisions that can change lives in seconds. Wolfson & Leon is here to help injured individuals understand their rights and pursue the compensation they deserve.

Intersection & Left-Turn Accidents in Fort Myers: High-Risk Roads Explained

Fort Myers has grown rapidly over the last decade. As neighborhoods expand and commercial ar eas increase, intersections become more crowded. Drivers turning left, merging across multiple lanes, or navigating changing traffic signals may misjudge oncoming speed or fail to yield. For pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, the result can be devastating.

Wolfson & Leon has represented victims of intersection crashes throughout Lee County since 1963. We walk our clients through the process — from medical care to insurance claims to legal recovery — with clarity and support. When litigation is required, we will not hesitate to file a lawsuit. If the insurance company fails to meet its obligations to its insureds and fail to offer fair value, we will go to trial. If an appeal is necessary, we will pursue that avenue on your behalf. We stand with you from the first call until you get the result you deserve.

Where These Crashes Happen in Fort Myers

Certain roads in Fort Myers are known for congestion, visibility issues, or turn-lane conflicts:

• U.S. 41 / Cleveland Avenue
• Colonial Boulevard intersections
• Daniels Parkway & Six Mile Cypress intersections
• Metro Parkway commercial corridor
• McGregor Boulevard near crosswalks and residential entries
• Summerlin Road toward Sanibel Causeway

Seasonal tourism increases traffic volume, making left-turn gaps tighter and reaction times shorter.

Why Intersection & Left-Turn Crashes Happen

• Driver fails to yield before turning left
• Misjudging distance or speed of oncoming vehicles
• Distracted or inattentive driving
• Rushing yellow lights or turning at the last moment
• Obstructed sightlines from landscaping, buildings, or weather conditions
• Complex lane patterns or poorly marked signals

Even responsible drivers can be caught off-guard. What matters next is protecting the injured person’s rights.

Common Injuries from These Collisions

• Whiplash and soft tissue neck injuries
• Herniated discs and spinal trauma
• Fractures and orthopedic injuries
• Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
• Airbag and seatbelt impact injuries
• Long-term mobility limitations

We support clients by coordinating with medical providers and documenting injury effects over time.

Understanding Florida’s Modified Comparative Negligence & PIP Coverage

Florida law allows injured individuals to pursue compensation if they are 50% or less at fault for the crash. Insurance companies may try to assign blame to reduce payment — especially in left-turn accidents. Our team works to challenge assumptions and demonstrate actual fault through evidence.

What to Do After an Intersection or Left-Turn Crash

1. Call 911 and obtain a police report.
2. Seek medical care promptly, even for low-speed crashes.
3. Photograph road signs, traffic signals, vehicle positions, and injuries.
4. Ask witnesses for contact information.
5. Do not give statements to insurance adjusters before speaking with a lawyer.

We can communicate with insurers on your behalf.

How Wolfson & Leon Helps

• We look for traffic camera and intersection surveillance footage.
• We analyze skid marks, signal timing, and vehicle positioning.
• We work with medical professionals to understand long-term impact.
• We negotiate firmly for full compensation — and prepare for trial when necessary.

You will always know where your case stands and what comes next.

Compensation May Include

• Emergency and ongoing medical treatment
• Lost wages and future income impact
• Pain and emotional distress
• Loss of mobility or long-term function
• Wrongful death support for grieving families

No. Liability depends on timing, speed, signals, and right-of-way. We analyze the entire context.

What if I was partially at fault?

You may still recover compensation if your fault is 50% or less.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Florida’s statutes require timely action — the sooner we speak, the better.
