T-Bone Collision Attorney
A T-bone (also known as broadside or side-impact) collision is among the most serious types of auto accidents in terms of injury to the occupants of the vehicle that is hit. If you or your loved one has been hurt in a T-bone collision, contact Malloy Law Offices, LLC today. Our T-bone collision lawyers are committed to pursuing the maximum compensation in these cases.
Common Injuries in Side-Impact Crashes
Because of the lack of structural protection for occupants when a vehicle is hit from the side, T-bone collisions can result in very serious injuries. In a study conducted by the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine, researchers found that injuries commonly sustained in near-side, vehicle-to-vehicle, side-impact crashes, many of which are fatal, include:
- Head and face injuries
- Chest injuries
- Abdominal injuries
- Pelvic injuries
- Spine and neck injuries
How to Prove Another Driver’s Negligence in the Accident
When filing a personal injury claim for side-impact collisions, you must prove that you did not cause the accident. Furthermore, the evidence presented in the claim must demonstrate that the accident was caused by the negligence of another driver. This can usually be straightforward, as these accidents often occur when a driver makes an illegal turn or ignores traffic signals. Likewise, one must indicate the following guidelines in their personal injury claim:
-
The other driver did not act responsibly behind the wheel.
-
The other driver was negligent.
-
The accident was caused due to the actions of the other driver.
-
The damages and injuries were a direct result of the accident.
Why You Need a T-bone Collision Lawyer
To recover compensation after a T-bone collision, it may be necessary to prove that you had the right-of-way and that the other driver could have avoided the crash by acting reasonably. Maryland is a contributory negligence state, which means that if the other side can prove you were even partially at fault for the accident, you will not be entitled to recover compensation. Our experienced trial lawyers can:
- Thoroughly investigate your accident
- Obtain and preserve evidence to support your claim
- Construct a compelling case based on the facts
- Negotiate skillfully with insurance companies on your behalf
- Fight for your rights in court, if necessary
