T-Bone Collisions

T-bone car accidents, also known as side-impact collisions, can cause drivers and passengers to suffer severe injuries.

These accidents are unique because unlike other types of collision, such as rear-end or head-on collisions, victims of T-bone collisions are only separated from the colliding vehicle by a thin door and window. The window can shatter on impact, showering the victim in tiny shards of glass as he or she comes into contact with the colliding vehicle’s hood.
