Hit at an Intersection? Connect with a North County San Diego Stop Sign Accident Lawyer Who Puts You First


You were following the rules of the road. They weren't.

Driving through North County is demanding enough without negligent drivers making it dangerous. Whether you were commuting down the busy stretches of El Camino Real, navigating the congestion on Palomar Airport Road, or dealing with the confusing intersections on Mission Road, it only takes one split second for a driver to ignore a stop sign or red light and change your life.

If you are reading this, you are likely in pain, without a vehicle, and already being pestered by insurance adjusters trying to minimize your payout.

Take a deep breath. We are here to help.

At Walton Law Firm, we don't just know the law; we know the specific roads, dangerous intersections, and local courts of North County. We help victims of intersection accidents cut through the confusion and fight for the compensation they deserve.

Why Intersections Are the Most Dangerous Places on the Road
Intersections are the chaos points of traffic. According to the Journal of Safety Research, approximately 700,000 traffic collisions occur every year at stop signs, with roughly one-third resulting in injury.

Unlike a typical fender bender, stop sign and red light accidents often result in "angular collisions" (T-bones) or high-impact rear-end crashes. These are violent impacts that vehicle safety systems often struggle to absorb.

Common causes we see in North County include:
  • Red light runners speeding to beat the signal.
  • Failure to yield to the right-of-way at 4-way stops.
  • "Rolling stops" where a driver checks for traffic but fails to see a pedestrian or cyclist.
  • Distracted driving leading to rear-end collisions at stop bars.
If you were hit by a red light runner lawyer in Oceanside or need help with failure to yield accidents in Escondido, you need an attorney who understands the physics of these specific crashes.

The "Local" Advantage: Why North County Drivers Choose Walton Law Firm
Many injury firms you see advertised are massive operations based in downtown San Diego or even Los Angeles. To them, your crash on the 78 or in a quiet Poway neighborhood is just a case number.

We are different. We are your neighbors.

Walton Law Firm is deeply rooted in this community. We serve clients across:
  • Oceanside & Carlsbad
  • San Marcos, Vista, & Escondido
  • Encinitas & Poway
As a Carlsbad car accident attorney and Intersection injury attorney for San Marcos, Vista, and Encinitas, we understand local traffic patterns and have established reputations with the local courts and judges. We know that a stop sign obscured by foliage in Vista is different from a high-speed intersection in Carlsbad, and we use that local knowledge to build stronger cases for our clients.

Common Injuries in Stop Sign Crashes
Because stop sign violations often result in side-impact (T-bone) crashes, the injuries can be severe and long-lasting. We regularly represent clients suffering from:
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and concussions.
  • Whiplash and severe soft-tissue neck injuries.
  • Fractures (specifically ribs, collarbones, and hips).
  • Spinal cord injuries requiring long-term therapy.
Why Choose Walton Law Firm?
You don't need a billboard lawyer; you need a dedicated advocate. We are a boutique firm, which means we limit our caseload to provide personal attention to every client. You will never be passed off to a junior associate or a paralegal who doesn't know your name.

Proven Experience with over 20 years in North County San Diego.

No Risk to You: We operate on a contingency fee basis. There is no fee unless we win your case. If we don't recover money for you, you don't pay us a dime.


Four Immediate Steps to Take After a Stop Sign Accident
If you have been injured, your health is the priority. However, protecting your legal claim starts immediately.
  • Call the Police: Always get an official police report. It is the strongest piece of evidence when proving the other driver ran the stop sign.
  • Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel "fine," adrenaline can mask injuries like whiplash. Go to urgent care or your primary doctor immediately. Gaps in treatment give insurance companies a reason to deny your claim.
  • Document Everything: Take photos of the intersection, the position of the cars, skid marks, and your injuries.
Do NOT Talk to Their Insurance: The other driver’s insurance adjuster is trained to trick you into admitting fault. Tell them to talk to your lawyer.
