Side-Impact and T-Bone Accident Claims

Side-impact crashes, also called T-bone accidents, happen when one vehicle strikes the side of another. These collisions are dangerous, especially for passengers who take the brunt of the impact.

How They Happen

Most T-bone accidents occur at intersections when a driver runs a red light, fails to yield, or makes an unsafe turn.

Injuries Can Be Severe

Side-impact crashes can cause head injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, and even fatalities. The side of a vehicle offers less protection than the front or rear.

Determining Fault

Fault is often based on traffic signals, right-of-way rules, and witness statements. Police reports and traffic camera footage can also be key evidence.

What Victims Can Recover

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Vehicle repairs

Why a Lawyer Helps

Side-impact cases can be complex. A lawyer can help prove fault, gather evidence, and negotiate a fair settlement for you.
