A T-bone accident occurs when one motorist plows directly into the side of another driver’s car. Because the sides of vehicles have less protection from the impact of an accident, T-bone accidents can be especially dangerous. While not always the case, T-bone accidents are generally caused by the driver who crashes headlong into the other. If another driver T-bones your car, don’t put off consulting with an Atlanta experienced car accident attorney.
T-Bone Accidents
Drivers are responsible for paying attention to the traffic ahead and for only proceeding when it is safe to do so, which is why the driver who makes contact with the side of the other’s car is typically responsible for the T-bone accident (most common in intersections). The root cause of these dangerous accidents is often one of the following:
- The driver is distracted and isn’t paying adequate attention to what’s happening in the intersection.
- The driver is speeding dangerously and doesn’t have time to react safely to what is happening in the intersection.
- The driver is drunk, and their physical, cognitive, or visual impairments make it impossible for them to react safely.
