What Is A T-Bone Accident?
Also referred to as a broadside collision, a T-bone accident is said to have occurred when one driver fails to give way to the motorist that has the right of way in an intersection, leading to a collision. These accidents usually occur at intersections when one driver makes a dangerous left turn. A T-bone accident may also occur when a driver negligently ignores a designated stop sign or red light and attempts to rush/speed through an intersection.
T-bone accidents are considered to be one of the most dangerous types of motor vehicle accidents. In fact, in terms of one metric, they are only outranked by head-on collisions.
Who Is At Fault In A T-Bone Accident?
Identifying the at-fault party in T-bone accidents is relatively easier thanks to their simplistic nature. In most cases, the driver who made a left turn is considered to be at fault.
However, this is not always the case. The at-fault driver may also turn out to be the one who was speeding straight through the intersection, while disregarding a red light or stop sign.
In some cases, both drivers may be found to be at-fault depending on their actions leading up to the accident.
If you are involved in a T-Bone accident in Mississippi, and believe that you are blameless, it is upon you to prove that the other driver was at fault.
It is important to note that the blame for the accident may fall entirely on one driver, or be apportioned between those involved, depending on what the evidence at hand says.
How Do I Get Compensated If I Have Been In A T-Bone Accident?
T-bone accidents can cause physical injuries, emotional trauma, financial loss, and property damage, on top of the apparent motor vehicle damage. As a T-bone accident victim, you may seek compensation through a personal injury claim in court or by negotiating with your insurance company or that of the at-fault party.
