Dallas T-Bone Accident Lawyer

Any car accident can cause serious injuries. However, a T-bone accident often causes devastating or even fatal damage.

T-bone accidents are also known as side-impact or broadside crashes. Because of the location of the impact, drivers and passengers are at a higher risk of sustaining life-changing injuries.

When injuries are severe, damages are usually much greater, and insurance companies work harder to avoid liability and settle your claim for much less than it is worth.

You need an experienced Dallas T-bone accident attorney to help you recover maximum compensation for your current and future damages.

Common Causes of Dallas T-Bone Accidents

T-bone accidents are caused when one vehicle crashes into another at a perpendicular, or almost perpendicular, angle, forming the shape of a “T.” Some common causes of Dallas T-bone accidents include:

• Aggressive drivers. Aggressive drivers may try to beat a red light or may not stop at a stop sign and crash into another vehicle at an intersection.
• Drugged or drunk driving. When a driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they have slower reflexes, and their sense of space and timing can be distorted, causing them to turn in front of another vehicle or otherwise cause a T-bone accident.
• Drowsy and fatigued driving. When drivers are tired or sleepy, their reflexes and perceptions can be as compromised as those of intoxicated drivers.
• Distracted driving. Drivers who are distracted by their phones or anything else are more likely to have an accident.
• Malfunctioning traffic lights and signals. If a red light malfunctions or a stop sign is missing, the risks of a T-bone accident are greater.

Common Injuries Caused by T-Bone Accidents

T-bone accident injuries are often more severe than front-end or rear-end collision injuries because there is less protection on the sides of a vehicle. Some common injuries caused by T-bone accidents include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones.

T-bone injuries also often result in neck and back injuries, cuts and lacerations, and internal organ damage. Victims of T-bone accidents may also suffer from mental and emotional distress, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression.

When not fatal, T-bone accident injuries can result in long-term damage that may prevent the injury victim from working or from enjoying everyday activities.

Compensation for Injuries Sustained in a Dallas T-Bone Accident

In a successful T-bone accident injury case, victims may recover economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include current and future medical expenses, current and future lost wages, property damages, and other expenses and losses incurred because of the accident.

Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other intangible losses.

In rare cases, punitive damages may be awarded. However, this type of damages is reserved for cases in which the defendant’s conduct is especially egregious. For example, if the cause of an accident is drunk driving, punitive damages may be appropriate.
