A T-bone accident, or side impact collision, often results in devastating injuries to innocent drivers and their passengers. If you or a loved one has been seriously or catastrophically injured in a T-bone accident, you need legal help immediately.

What Are the Common Causes of T-Bone Accidents?

In most cases, a T-bone accident is caused by a driver failing to yield as required by law. Here are some other scenarios where a T-bone crash could occur:

Dangerous left turn: A left turn at an intersection is dangerous when another driver fails to reduce speed at the yellow light.
Running a red light: Failure to heed traffic signals can cause two opposing directions of traffic to collide.
Blowing through a stop sign: Running a stop sign can result in serious injuries worsened by high-impact collisions.
Driving distracted: When a driver is focused on the phone, in-vehicle entertainment systems, or GPS controls, averting their eyes from the road, they put themselves and others at risk.
Drunk driving, drug-impaired driving: Alcohol and drugs (including prescribed medications) impair judgment and ability to operate a vehicle safely.
Defective vehicle safety systems: Less commonly, a vehicle malfunction, such as jammed or non-functional breaks, stuck accelerators, or faulty steering systems, can lead to a T-bone accident.

Types of Injuries in T-Bone Crashes in Palm Springs

What is a Case Worth in Damages?

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

In California, the statute of limitations allows two years from the accident to file a claim to recover compensation from the at-fault driver. You have just six months if the case is filed against a government entity. The legal issues surrounding compensation are complicated and challenging to manage. Issues can arise, such as the policy limits of the at-fault driver being so low that a claim will not pay for all losses or the insurance company challenging who was at fault, making a difficult situation unbearable. That’s when Christopher C. Vader PC in Palm Springs can help.
