When you are driving and complying with all state traffic laws, you never expect another driver to crash into you. Maybe you came to a full stop at a traffic sign, or waited for a traffic light to turn green before proceeding. As you started to move, another motorist came out of nowhere and crashed into the side of your vehicle. These collisions are known as T-bone accidents, and they are some of the most serious types of crashes you could be involved in.
T-bone accidents are much more likely to result in fatalities than other types of collisions, such as rear-end accidents. Even when victims survive, the injuries they sustained are typically so severe, injured individuals often suffer the effects for the rest of their life. If you have been hurt, you may be entitled to substantial compensation. Our Columbus T-bone accident lawyer can help you get it.
Injuries Caused by T-Bone Accidents
It is a common misconception that head-on collisions are more severe than T-bone accidents. The fronts of vehicles are designed to absorb a great deal of force and impact. The occupants of a vehicle involved in a head-on collision also have safety features to protect them, such as airbags. Although head-on collisions are very serious, victims simply do not have the same kind of protection in a T-bone accident. The sides of vehicles do not have the same shock absorption capabilities, and side airbags are non-existent. With nothing more than a fairly light steel frame, motorists and passengers sitting at the site of the impact will sustain some of the most serious injuries. These include:
- Neck injuries
- Lower back injuries
- Broken bones
- Hip injuries
- Amputations
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Chest injuries
- Spinal cord injuries, including paralysis
The above injuries are not only extremely painful, but they also require expensive medical treatment. You may also not be able to return to work for weeks, months, and potentially even years. You deserve compensation for your injuries, but it is not always easy to obtain.
Dealing with the Insurance Companies After a T-Bone Accident
The serious nature of injuries sustained in a T-bone accident can result in tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands, of dollars in losses. Insurance companies are never easy to deal with but when potential settlement amounts are so high, they are even more reluctant to pay fair compensation.
Due to the high amount of damages incurred and the insurance policy limits that will apply, it is even more important to determine if multiple parties share the fault after a T-bone accident. A Columbus T-bone accidents lawyer can negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf and identify all liable parties.
