NYC T-Bone Accident Lawyers
T-bone collisions, also known as side impact accidents, are some of the most dangerous types of car crashes. In a T-bone accident, the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another, often leaving the occupants on the impacted side with severe or life-threatening injuries.
In New York City, where traffic is dense and intersections are numerous, T-bone accidents are all too common. At Ajlouny Injury Law, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these crashes can take, and we are committed to fighting for the compensation you deserve.
The Dangers of T-Bone Accidents in NYC
T-bone accidents frequently occur at intersections when a driver runs a red light, ignores a stop sign, or makes a risky turn. Unlike front or rear-end collisions, side impact accidents offer less protection to vehicle occupants. While the front and rear of cars are designed with crumple zones to absorb impact, the sides of vehicles have much thinner barriers, leaving passengers more vulnerable.
Due to the lack of protection, T-bone accidents often lead to serious injuries, including:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal organ damage
- Paralysis
- Whiplash and neck injuries
These injuries can result in long-term or permanent disability, extensive medical treatments, and a significant loss of income. If you’ve been injured in a side impact collision, seeking legal representation is crucial to ensuring your rights are protected.
Common Causes of T-Bone Collisions
T-bone accidents typically happen at intersections, but they can occur in other settings as well. Some of the most common causes of side impact accidents in New York City include:
- Distracted Driving: Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or otherwise distracted may fail to notice traffic signals or stop signs.
- Speeding: Excessive speed can cause drivers to run red lights or stop signs, resulting in devastating T-bone collisions.
- Failure to Yield: Drivers who don’t yield the right of way, especially when making left turns, can cause side impact crashes.
- Driving Under the Influence: Drunk or impaired drivers often exhibit poor judgment, leading to dangerous mistakes such as running through intersections.
- Reckless or Aggressive Driving: Tailgating, speeding, and running lights are common aggressive driving behaviors that lead to T-bone accidents.
In many cases, T-bone collisions are the result of driver negligence. If you were injured due to another driver's careless actions, Ajlouny Injury Law can help hold the responsible party accountable and fight for the compensation you deserve.
