T-Bone Crashes in New Jersey
T-bone or side-impact collisions are among the most dangerous types of crashes on New Jersey roadways. Because the sides of a vehicle offer less structural protection than the front or rear, occupants are more vulnerable to severe injuries, especially when struck by larger commercial vehicles such as delivery trucks.
Common causes of T-bone collisions include failure to yield, misjudged turns into parking lots or intersections, distracted driving, and reduced visibility during evening hours. These crashes frequently result in head injuries, fractures, internal trauma, and other serious medical complications.
Parking lot entrances, commercial driveways, and busy intersections, like those in many Bergen County and North Jersey communities, are high-risk locations for side-impact collisions. Investigations typically focus on vehicle speed, right-of-way, driver attention, and whether either party attempted evasive action.
For victims, the aftermath of a T-bone crash can involve extensive medical care, time away from work, and long-term recovery. A skillful New Jersey car accident lawyer can help injured individuals understand their rights, gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
