Side-Impact or T-Bone Collisions

T-Bone Collisions

SERVING THE GREATER ATLANTA METRO AREA

T-Bone Collision Lawyers in Atlanta, GA


Side-impact collisions, also known as T-bone accidents, are among the most dangerous types of car crashes, often resulting in severe injuries or even fatalities. These accidents occur when the front of one vehicle crashes into the side of another, forming a “T” shape. The reason these collisions are so hazardous is that the sides of vehicles offer less protection compared to the front and rear, leaving occupants vulnerable to serious injury.


At RDN Legal, we understand the life-changing consequences that can result from a side-impact collision. The physical, emotional, and financial toll can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our team of dedicated attorneys is here to provide you with the expert legal advocacy you need to navigate the aftermath of a T-bone accident and secure the compensation you deserve.


Why Side-Impact Collisions Are So Dangerous


Side-impact collisions can occur in a variety of scenarios, but they are most common at intersections where drivers may run red lights, fail to yield, or make improper turns.


Understanding why these accidents are particularly dangerous can help illustrate the importance of having strong legal representation:


  1. Vulnerable Vehicle Sides: Unlike the front and rear of a vehicle, which have crumple zones designed to absorb impact, the sides of a car provide much less protection. This leaves occupants vulnerable to direct hits, which can result in serious injuries.
  2. High Impact Force: T-bone accidents often occur at intersections where vehicles may be traveling at high speeds. The force of impact can be severe, leading to catastrophic injuries such as broken bones, internal injuries, spinal cord damage, and traumatic brain injuries.
  3. Potential for Rollover: In some cases, the force of a side-impact collision can cause the vehicle to roll over, increasing the risk of serious injury or death. Rollover accidents complicate the legal process and require experienced legal representation to ensure all factors are considered.
  4. Multiple Vehicles Involved: Side-impact collisions can easily lead to multi-car pileups, especially in busy intersections. When multiple vehicles are involved, determining liability becomes more complex, requiring a thorough investigation and expert legal analysis.


How RDN Legal Can Help You


If you’ve been involved in a side-impact or T-bone collision, having an experienced legal team on your side is crucial. At RDN Legal, we bring a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to fighting for your rights. Here’s how we can assist you:


  • Thorough Investigation- Every successful case begins with a comprehensive investigation. Our legal team will gather all relevant evidence, including police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and any available video recordings. We may also work with accident reconstruction experts to analyze the scene and determine exactly how the collision occurred.
  • Proving Liability- Establishing liability in a side-impact collision can be challenging, especially when both drivers may claim the other was at fault. Our attorneys are skilled at piecing together the evidence to prove who was responsible. We’ll consider factors like traffic signals, skid marks, vehicle damage, and witness accounts to build a strong case on your behalf.
  • Maximizing Compensation- The injuries sustained in a T-bone collision can lead to significant medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and emotional distress. At RDN Legal, we are committed to securing the maximum compensation for your injuries and losses. We’ll work with medical professionals, financial experts, and other specialists to ensure that all your damages are fully documented and included in your claim.
  • Negotiating with Insurance Companies- Dealing with insurance companies after a side-impact collision can be frustrating and challenging. Insurers often try to minimize payouts or shift the blame onto you. Our attorneys have extensive experience negotiating with insurance companies and are prepared to fight for your rights. We’ll handle all communications with the insurance company, ensuring that you receive a fair settlement that reflects the true extent of your losses.
  • Aggressive Litigation- While many side-impact collision cases are resolved through negotiation, we are always prepared to take your case to court if necessary. Our attorneys are seasoned litigators who will represent you with confidence and determination. We’ll present a compelling case in court to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
