There are different names for a T-bone crash—a broadside crash, a side impact crash. We know one thing is for certain: T-Bone car crashes are serious, and they are deadly. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, T-Bone car accidents are responsible for 22% of car occupant deaths in 2022.
Named after the letter “T” because of the shape two cars sometime form in the crash, side impact/T-bone car accidents in Hackensack can cause severe injuries. Those may include:
Tragically, as T-bone Car Accidents greatly impact middle-deck passengers, this type of accident is often at fault in a child’s death or injury in a car. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2021, estimates than an average of 3 children (14 years of age or younger) are killed, and 445 children are injured, every day in a car accident.
Seek medical attention if you feel pain. Sometimes, the injuries will be so severe that the victim will be taken to hospital by ambulance. Other times, the victim will just want to go home, or the pain sets in at a later time. Reach out to a certified personal injury attorney if you need help getting treatment with a doctor who knows how to handle insurance issues in car crash cases.
