Attorney for Side-Impact Crashes and Injuries in Leesburg

Personal Injury Car Accidents Truck Accident Wrongful Death

T-bone accidents, which are also known as side-impact collisions, can be incredibly dangerous. When one vehicle strikes the side of another, the impact often occurs near the driver or passenger compartment, and a vehicle's occupants will have little protection from the force of the collision. These accidents can result in severe or life-threatening injuries, leaving victims facing significant medical expenses, loss of income, and emotional trauma.

Whitlock Law works with victims of T-bone accidents in Leesburg, Virginia, helping to investigate these crashes, establish liability, and obtain the compensation needed to support a person's recovery. With our legal guidance and advocacy, victims can focus on healing and rest assured that everything possible is being done to hold a negligent driver accountable.

What Is a T-Bone or Side-Impact Accident?

When the front of one vehicle collides with the side of another, it will form a shape similar to the letter T at the point of impact. This has led side-impact collisions to be referred to as T-bone accidents. These crashes can be especially dangerous because the sides of most vehicles lack the crumple zones and reinforcements that protect the front and rear of a vehicle. As a result, occupants may be directly exposed to the force of impact by another vehicle, and they may experience catastrophic injuries.

Where Do T-Bone Accidents Happen?

Side-impact crashes may take place in situations where drivers fail to follow traffic rules or do not yield the right of way when required. Locations for T-bone accidents may include:

Intersections: A driver may run a red light or stop sign and collide with a vehicle that is crossing the intersection lawfully.
Left Turns: When a driver fails to yield to oncoming traffic when making a turn, their vehicle may be struck on the side.
Parking Lots and Driveways: A driver may pull into the road without checking for cross traffic, resulting in a side-impact collision.

Driver Negligence Leading to T-Bone Accidents

Side-impact crashes often happen because drivers fail to exercise reasonable care, follow traffic laws, and avoid situations that could place others at risk of harm. Examples of negligent behaviors include:

Distracted Driving: When drivers do not fully pay attention to what is happening on the road, they may miss important details, such as a vehicle that is pulling out of a driveway.
Speeding: A driver who is violating the speed limit may not have enough time to react and avoid colliding with another vehicle from the side. T-bone collisions can also occur if a driver speeds through an intersection to try to avoid stopping at a red light.
Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drugs can impair a driver's ability to maintain control of their vehicle. They may act in unsafe ways, or their reaction times may be delayed, causing them to hit other vehicles from the side.

Relentless in pursuit. Committed to the fight.

Injuries in Side-Impact Collisions

T-bone accidents can result in serious injuries for drivers and passengers, including:

Spinal Cord Injuries: The impact of another vehicle that strikes areas next to where a driver or passenger is sitting can cause serious damage to the spine. If the spinal cord is severed or is damaged in other ways, a person may experience paralysis or other permanent disabilities.
Chest and Abdominal Injuries: Collisions may lead to rib fractures, lung injuries, or damage to internal organs. In some cases, these injuries may put a person's life at risk.
Broken Bones and Crush Injuries: A strong impact may lead to fractures to the arms, hips, legs, or other parts of the body. When arms, legs, or other body parts are crushed by a side intrusion into the vehicle, injuries may be severe enough to result in amputations.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Even though a vehicle may have side airbags meant to protect the head, a collision may still cause a person to suffer a severe blow that could damage the brain. These injuries can cause issues such as mood disorders, loss of memory, sensory disorders, seizures, intellectual disabilities, and other ongoing effects.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Whiplash and other injuries in a side-impact collision can damage muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck, shoulders, arms, or other parts of the body.

Due to the severity of injuries in a T-bone collision, victims may need to undergo extensive medical treatment. Rehabilitation and other forms of long-term care may be needed. As victims work to recover, they may be unable to work, and their ability to enjoy their normal activities may be affected.
