CrashAidWhat to write down at an intersection
Note the direction each car was heading, the signal color you saw, and whether anyone turned left across traffic. Witness names disappear quickly. The crash-report article explains how to get the official diagram and what to check when it arrives.
A left-turn crash and a red-light crash are both called T-bones in ordinary speech. They are not the same fact pattern. Describe the movement in the form instead of only picking the menu label.
Cities where intersections are the local story
Downtown St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Orlando, and Tampa all have signalized grids. This page does not rank those intersections. Only the Wesley Chapel page cites a specific FDOT safety memo, and that memo was about rear-end crashes at US 41 and SR 54, not a T-bone ranking.
Passengers can be hurt even when their driver had the light. Say whether you were driving or riding. That changes whose coverage an attorney looks at first.
Questions
Does the car that hit the side always pay?
No. Side impact describes the damage. Fault follows signals, signs, and what each driver did. The report is a start, not the last word.
What if the report diagram is wrong?
Parties can ask for a correction. Photos and witness names help. The crash-report article lists what to review. CrashAid cannot amend a police report.
Should I pick Intersection / T-Bone in the form?
Yes, if a vehicle struck the side of another in an intersection. Add a sentence about the signal or the turn so the label is not the whole story.
