One of the most consistently difficult types of car accident cases is the case of a collision that takes place in an open intersection. An “open intersection” is one where there are no traffic control devices – no stop lights, no stop signs or yield signs – where the rules of the road are that the driver on the left simply yields to the driver on the right. A lot of times, people who have had the right of way and been involved in these kinds of collisions are surprised to find out that the insurance adjuster is telling them that the accident was partially their fault.

A question that we sometimes are asked is what happens if the driver who hit me doesn’t have any insurance? If that is the case, then you are basically left with whatever level of insurance coverage you had previously purchased for yourself. I understand and agree that Nebraska law requires that other driver to carry insurance, but the reality is that there are a lot of drivers out there who don’t and it’s not typically the good drivers who go without insurance but rather the bad driver, the one most likely to hit you, who doesn’t carryinsurance on himself.
