One of the most jarring types of collisions is a T-bone crash. One minute, you are driving through an intersection with a green light, and the next you see a slight movement out of the corner of your eye before being slammed into by a drunk driver. Anytime one vehicle’s front end impacts another’s side panels, it is considered a T-bone crash; T-bone collisions often end in broken bones, chronic whiplash, traumatic brain injury, and even death. If you were injured in a T-bone crash, whether you were the person who got T-boned or the driver who impacted the other car that failed to yield right of way, the West Palm Beach T-bone collision attorneys here at Hale Law can help you file a personal injury claim against the negligent driver who caused your injuries.
T-bone collisions are generally caused by distracted driving, drunk driving, aggressive driving, or falling asleep while driving. As the victim, you may have been in the vehicle that T-boned the other, or the vehicle that got T-boned. Examples of when the party that did the T-boning includes the following:
The driver who gets T-boned is sometimes at fault, usually in failure to yield right of way scenarios. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, failure to yield right of way is the fourth-leading cause of fatal collisions. Common examples of failure to yield, resulting in a T-bone collision, include the following:
Injuries associated with T-bone collisions are often common. They include spinal cord injuries, soft tissue injuries such as lacerations and whiplash, traumatic brain injury, and broken bones. The at-fault party can be sued for medical expenses, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and much more. If you are the victim of another driver’s impatience, reckless driving, texting or cell phone use, or other form of negligence, we can help hold them accountable.
