Understanding T-Bone Collisions and Your Rights
A T-bone accident, also known as a side-impact collision, happens when one vehicle crashes into the side of another, forming a “T” shape. These accidents are common at intersections and often cause severe, life-altering injuries. At Gharibian Legal Group, we help victims of T-bone crashes recover the compensation they deserve.

How T-Bone Accidents Occur
Most T-bone collisions occur when a driver fails to yield, runs a red light, or ignores a stop sign. Other common causes include distracted or inattentive driving, speeding through intersections, impaired or drunk driving, unsafe left turns, and malfunctioning traffic signals. Determining fault often depends on eyewitness accounts, surveillance footage, and the crash scene, which our firm carefully investigates.

Common Injuries from T-Bone Collisions
Side-impact collisions are especially dangerous because the sides of vehicles provide less protection than the front or rear. Victims may suffer broken ribs or pelvis, chest or lung injuries, neck and spinal trauma, head and brain injuries, internal bleeding, and severe bruising or soft tissue damage. Even with side airbags, these crashes can cause serious harm.

Where and When T-Bone Accidents Occur
T-bone accidents often happen at busy intersections, parking lots, left-turn lanes, urban areas with heavy traffic, and during rush hour periods. They commonly occur during peak travel times when drivers are rushing, distracted, or not following traffic rules.
