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 often happen at intersections when a driver fails to yield the right of way or runs a red light. The impact can cause severe injuries to the occupants of the struck vehicle, including head, neck, and spinal injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries. The severity of a T-bone accident depends on the speed of the vehicles and the point of impact.
