Travis County, TX · Free Consultation
Great Hills, TX Car Accident Lawyer
Intersection crashes around Great Hills often come down to one question: who had the right of way? SMB Law, PC helps injured Great Hills drivers prove they did — and holds the other driver accountable. A Great Hills car accident lawyer knows an intersection case is won by proving who actually had the right of way. Shane has been licensed since 2003 and personally builds the evidence that puts the fault on the other driver.
Great Hills’ busy junctions along US-183, Great Hills Trail, and Jollyville Road see constant turning and cross traffic, where a missed signal or a misjudged gap causes the T-bone and left-turn collisions we handle.
Where a Great Hills car accident claim is handled
Great Hills is in Travis County, so a lawsuit is filed with the Travis County District Clerk at the Civil and Family Courthouse on Guadalupe Street in Austin. Most claims settle with the insurer before that stage.
Right-of-way, signals, and who was at fault
Intersection collisions turn on right-of-way, and Texas law spells out who must yield: a left-turning driver yields to oncoming traffic, every driver must stop for a red light or stop sign, and a driver entering from a smaller road yields to through traffic. When each driver blames the other, the case is won with objective evidence of what the signals showed and who moved first. That can include signal-timing data at a lighted intersection, the physical damage that reveals the point and angle of impact, independent witnesses, and any traffic or business camera that caught the crash. A left-turn or red-light dispute that looks like one driver’s word against the other’s often becomes clear once that evidence is gathered. We move quickly to secure signal data and camera footage before it is overwritten, and reconstruct the sequence so fault at a Great Hills intersection is fixed where it belongs.
Why intersection footage disappears fast
The single best piece of evidence in a Great Hills intersection crash is often a video — and it is usually the first thing lost. Traffic-signal controllers and many business and doorbell cameras overwrite their recordings within days, so a request that arrives two weeks later finds nothing. We treat that footage as a priority: identifying which cameras had a view of the crash, sending preservation demands immediately, and obtaining signal-timing records that show exactly when each light changed. Paired with the physical evidence — where the vehicles struck and how they came to rest — that record can settle a right-of-way dispute conclusively. Acting in the first days after a Great Hills crash is what makes the difference between clear proof and a he-said-she-said stalemate.

Frequently asked questions
Who is at fault in a left-turn accident?
Usually the driver turning left, who must yield to oncoming traffic — but evidence can shift fault if the other driver ran a light or sped.
How do you prove who ran the red light?
With objective evidence — signal-timing data, the angle and location of the damage, independent witnesses, and any camera footage of the intersection.
What is a T-bone accident claim?
It is a claim from a side-impact crash, common at intersections, where proving right-of-way and the point of impact is central to establishing fault.
