Failure to Yield Accidents

Failure to yield is among the leading cause of roadway accidents in Houston. Some drivers simply fail to give their full attention while driving, and others consider themselves above the law. Regardless of why the failure occurred, everyone is obligated to yield the right-of-way by following official traffic signs and signals and adhering to the rules of the road.

Sustaining an injury after a failure to yield accident is overwhelming due to the mental anguish and financial burden that follow. Knowing what qualifies as negligence and how to build a strong case may be even more demanding. Fortunately, the failure to yield accident lawyers Sutliff & Stout do this every day.
