Modern automobile technology has resulted in highly-efficient, super-fast vehicles that are capable of providing you with safe and swift travel. However, accidents can and do happen and they are the result of someone’s fault or negligence. Among the different types of motor-vehicle accidents that our Camlachie personal injury lawyers would be familiar with are “side-swipe accidents.” They cause a range of injuries, based on how much control and experience both drivers have.

If you or a dear one has been injured in a side-swipe impact accident, ensure that you get proper medical help immediately. Following this, it’s wise to contact a Camlachie personal injury lawyer without delay to help you receive compensation for the physical, emotional and financial injuries suffered.

What Are Side Swipe Impact Accidents?

There’s a common misconception that side-swipes usually are mere fender benders and cause only minor injuries. However, when one/both vehicles are traveling at high speeds, the drivers lose control and the vehicles spin into the path of oncoming traffic, collide with stationary objects, hit pedestrians, cyclists or other road-users.

Camlachie car accident lawyers are aware that side-swipes usually occur when both vehicles are moving in the same direction and one of them starts encroaching into the other’s lane. As a result, they may instinctively over-react and swerve abruptly to avoid a collision.

Sometimes, side-swiping is done to avoid rear-ending a vehicle in front and the maneuver results in hitting a vehicle traveling in the adjacent lane. It may also cause a chain reaction and finally a multi-vehicle pile-up.

Side swiping stationary objects, poles, buildings etc are also common accidents. Known as “blind spot” accidents, side swipes cause doors to come loose, damage to panels, rear-view mirrors and door-handles besides causing a variety of injuries to passengers/driver.

Whiplash, head/neck/shoulder bone, muscle and ligament damage, cuts, bruises and fractures are common injuries. Severe accidents can cause catastrophic injuries.
