Injured in a T-Bone Accident at an Intersection?
T-bone accidents, also known as side-impact collisions, can result in severe injuries and life-changing consequences. At Dermer Law, we are dedicated to helping victims of these devastating crashes navigate their legal options and pursue the compensation they deserve.
T-bone accidents often occur at intersections when one driver fails to yield, runs a red light, or disregards traffic signals. The impact of these crashes can lead to catastrophic injuries for drivers and passengers, especially when the collision occurs at high speeds. At Dermer Law, we understand the unique challenges of side-impact accident cases and work tirelessly to hold negligent parties accountable while fighting for the justice and compensation our clients need to recover.
Common Causes of T-Bone Accidents
T-bone collisions are often the result of driver negligence or failure to follow traffic laws. Here are some of the leading causes of these accidents:
Running Red Lights or Stop Signs
Ignoring traffic signals or failing to stop at intersections is a major cause of side-impact crashes.
Distracted Driving
Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or otherwise distracted may fail to notice traffic signals or other vehicles, leading to a collision.
Speeding Through Intersections
High-speed drivers have less time to react, increasing the likelihood of a T-bone accident.
Failure to Yield
Drivers who fail to yield the right of way at intersections often cause dangerous side-impact collisions.
Impaired Driving
Alcohol or drug impairment impairs judgment and reaction times, contributing to accidents at intersections.
Common Injuries from T-Bone Accidents
Side-impact collisions can result in serious, life-altering injuries. These include:
Head and Brain Injuries
The force of impact can cause traumatic brain injuries, concussions, or skull fractures.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Damage to the spine can result in paralysis or other permanent disabilities
Broken Bones
Fractures are common, particularly in the ribs, arms, and legs.
Internal Injuries
The impact can cause internal bleeding or organ damage, requiring immediate medical attention.
Emotional Trauma
Many victims experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety following a serious accident.
Determining Liability in T-Bone Accidents
Proving fault in a T-bone accident is critical to building a strong personal injury claim. At Dermer Law, we gather the necessary evidence to establish liability, including:
Police Reports
Official accident reports often contain key details about the collision and any citations issued.
Witness Testimonies
Statements from bystanders can provide valuable insight into how the accident occurred.
Traffic Camera Footage
Video evidence can help reconstruct the events leading to the crash.
Accident Reconstruction
Experts can analyze the scene to determine the actions of each driver and identify the at-fault party.
