Intersection accident lawyer in Loris, SC
Crashes at lights, stops, and turns on local roads
Busy corridors like Highway 9, Highway 701, and routes toward Conway and Longs see frequent red-light and left-turn collisions. Josephs Law Firm PA investigates signal timing, sightlines, and lane design to prove fault. As a local firm since 1977, we understand how traffic patterns around schools, Main Street, and rural intersections shape liability and damages. If fault is disputed, talk with an
auto accident attorney who knows Horry County adjusters and the evidence they expect.
Evidence that moves intersection cases
- Police report plus diagram; we verify approach speeds and turn angles
- Photos/video: skid marks, debris fields, and signal heads/turn arrows
- Witness statements from nearby drivers or businesses
- Vehicle damage patterns supporting angle of impact
- Medical documentation linking injuries to the crash dynamics
When the other driver flees the scene after running a light, hit-and-run accidents may trigger your UM benefits if we meet reporting rules.
Common intersection scenarios we handle
- Left-turn collisions at protected/permissive arrows
- Red-light violations on Highway 9 and 701
- Stop-sign runs at rural cross streets near Green Sea
- “Rolling” right-turn impacts with pedestrians or cyclists
If the at-fault driver carries low limits, we may pursue
UM/UIM claims to close the gap in coverage.

FAQs
How do you prove who had the green?
We combine witness statements, camera footage (when available), and damage analysis; we also request timing data if the municipality maintains logs.
What if I’m partially at fault?
South Carolina’s comparative fault rules still allow recovery unless you’re mostly at fault; we’ll evaluate the facts.
Can pedestrians recover after a turning driver hits them?
Often yes—call to discuss right-of-way, signage, and visibility.
