Side Impact/T-Bone Car Accidents in Baytown

Side impact car accidents in Baytown occur when one vehicle crashes into the side of another vehicle. The people who were hit are at risk of experiencing life-altering physical and emotional injuries as a result of the collision. In addition, the financial consequences of a broadside collision can cause a family to go into debt while paying for medical bills. Fortunately, a knowledgeable car crash attorney knows how to help.

If you or your loved one experienced harm in a T-bone automobile accident, a dedicated team of legal professionals could inform you of your legal options and guide you through the process of bringing a lawsuit.

Common Injuries Occurring After Side Impact Collisions

In most types of motor vehicle accidents, drivers and passengers in the affected vehicles have some sort of protection. For instance, in rear-end collisions, the individuals in the struck leading vehicle have the benefit of the car’s bumpers, trunk, and steel frame to shield them from a direct collision with the colliding car. In front-end crashes, the people in both cars have airbags, bumpers, steel frame, and the front body of the car to diminish the force of the crash on their body.

While some newer models of cars and trucks offer side airbags, people in broadside collisions often have nothing that operates as a buffer between them and the oncoming car other than their car’s door. Consequently, the resulting injuries to people in the struck vehicle can be catastrophic, particularly when the people in the car are seated on the side of the car closest to the impact location. Broken bones, brain injuries, internal organ damage, spinal cord injuries, and deep lacerations can occur. Sadly, some people in Baytown T-bone accidents do not survive their injuries.

A dedicated legal team is available to help injured people pursue justice and fair compensation for their injuries. They could also help a grieving family of a lost loved one seek accountability and financial assistance in a wrongful death claim.

Reasons That T-Bone Accidents Happen on the Road

Broadside collisions happen in many different places, such as on residential streets, highways, and parking lots. Most frequently, they occur when cars are traveling perpendicularly to each other, such as at intersections. The most common reasons that a motorist crashes into the side of another car are because of:

  • Failure to yield, including failure to stop and look before making a left turn
  • Running through a stop sign or red light
  • Reckless driving
  • Drunk or drugged driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Fatigued driving
  • Lack of visibility due to bad weather or dangerous road conditions

Regardless of how or why the T-bone collision occurred, a diligent legal team could help. They could review all evidence from the crash including the police accident report, medical reports, surveillance or other photographic or video camera footage, and eyewitness accounts. Personal injury attorneys could also visit the crash scene to look for indications of how the accident happened, such as a lack of skid marks or hazards on the road.

Schedule a Meeting with a Baytown Lawyer After a Side Impact/T-Bone Crash

Side impact/T-bone car accidents in Baytown often have tragic consequences. You should not have to bear the financial burden of the accident by yourself. The person responsible for the crash should be responsible for covering your bills. Schedule a meeting with a well-informed local lawyer who might be able to help you seek the justice and financial assistance your family needs.
