If you or a loved one has been injured in a T-bone accident, it’s wise to contact a Burleigh Falls personal injury lawyer as soon as the injured person has received the proper medical attention. Accidents are caused by someone’s negligence or fault and the injured are entitled to seek compensation for the injuries from those responsible for the accident.
T-Bone Accidents
This term is commonly used for side impact collisions. They are most dangerous because the entire impact of the crash is taken by the car’s doors. A variety of serious injuries are caused by shattered metal and flying glass, besides crush injuries and those caused by broken windows and doors. Though most modern vehicles have to meet certain side-impact safety standards, injuries can and do occur. These could range from broken bones, internal organ damage, traumatic brain injury, severe bleeding, amputation to death. However, as our top rated accident lawyers know, T-bone accidents pose a challenge while filing personal injury claims.
Proving Fault
“Should I hire a personal injury lawyer?” is a question that many accident victims and their families ponder over following a car accident. They assume that if the at-fault party is clearly liable, the insurance will take care of compensating victims for their injuries/damages. In T-bone collisions, liability is not always easy to prove.
Award winning car accident and personal injury lawyers would have to conduct independent investigations into the circumstances and establish the fault. T-bone collisions are particularly challenging, because it may not be clear how and why the accident occurred. Many T-bones occur at traffic junctions and signals, where a driver may have been cutting a red signal. In such cases, it’s wise to take photographs and to make a note of the exact time that the accident occurred. This would be of immense help to an experienced personal injury lawyer.
At-fault parties may claim that they were unable to stop because of malfunctioning brakes etc. In such cases, multiple parties may become involved in your claim. Our experienced Burleigh Falls car accident lawyers can assist you to identify and locate all the parties involved to ensure that you achieve the compensation you deserve.
