A T-bone accident, also known as a side-impact collision, occurs when the front of one vehicle crashes into the side of another, forming a “T” shape. These accidents are particularly dangerous due to the limited protection offered by the sides of vehicles. Common causes include running red lights, failing to yield, and distracted driving. Injuries from T-bone accidents can range from minor bruises to severe trauma, including fractures, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries.
