334-333-3333T- bone accidents are also known as side-impact collisions or broadside accidents. This type of accidents mostly occur at intersections and involve the front of one car crashing the side of another. The name T-bone came about because after such an accident the cars involved will be positioned in a “T” shape. According to the National Highway Safety Authority close to 3.18 million broadside crashes occur in the US annually. These crashes can be caused by several reasons including:
A side-impact collision can be fatal or result in serious injuries to a driver or passengers. This is because the sides of a car offer minimal protection on impact. Injuries you can sustain in a T-bone accident include traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, facial cuts, rib fractures, and lung injuries.
If you have been injured following a T-bone accident you should talk to a car accident attorney in Montgomery. The attorney may assist you to recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, scarring and other general damages.
Proving fault in a broadside accident can be challenging. The negligent driver may deny responsibility for causing the accident and blame you for the crash. In such a situation you would have to produce evidence showing they were at fault. If you can’t prove they caused the crash you will not get compensation. Don’t worry though a Montgomery auto wreck lawyer can help you prove the other driver was at fault. By looking at the following they might get what they need to prove fault.
The police report. Following your accident, the police will come to the accident scene. When they are on the scene they will gather information about your crash. From the facts collected, they might be able to determine who was at fault in the accident.
Eyewitness account. If anyone witnessed your accident you should talk to them and get their names and contact information. The witnesses would help your attorney build a solid case against the reckless driver who broadsided you.
Photos of the accident scene especially those taken after a crash may also help determine who was at fault. If the accident scene has traffic camera footage your attorney may request to view the footage. The video would help the car accident attorney in Montgomery know events leading to your crash. If no traffic camera footage is available your lawyer can find out if businesses close by have surveillance cameras. If they do they may be able to prove fault.
The traffic light programming can also help the determined who was at fault in a T-bone accident. By getting the time of the accident a lawyer can compare this with timings of the traffic signals. That way they may be able to tell who had right of way at the time of the crash.
In some situations, an attorney may decide to use an expert to determine who was at fault. The expert may conduct a forensic audit of your crash and make a conclusion based on the damages and injuries.
