The Dangers of T-Bone Accidents

T-bone accidents (also referred to as side-impact), can cause serious injuries, and in some cases, wrongful death. It is not at all uncommon for t-bone accident victims to become temporarily or permanently disabled, leaving them with years of rehabilitation therapy and medical bills. Although all cars sold in the United States must comply with various side-impact safety standards, the antiquated verbiage in these standards in conjunction with the various sizes of vehicles on the roadways have left some to wonder whether the standards really keep drivers safe, as it is estimated that over 8,500 Americans are killed by side impact collisions each year.

T-bone passenger vehicle deaths statistics

Over 5,000 passenger vehicle occupants died from t-bone accidents in 2019. Accidents involving pickup trucks and SUVs attributed to 16 percent of these deaths. This is likely due to the increased popularity of larger vehicles being used for everyday commute.

Types of t-bone accidents

At any given time on the Las Vegas roadways, there is a steady flow of traffic involving vehicles of different sizes traveling in various directions. The most common types of t-bone accidents we have seen include:

• Intersection accidents. If a car runs a red-light or flashing yellow light and collides with another vehicle traveling in an opposite or perpendicular direction.
• Failure to yield accidents. When a vehicle fails to yield when merging lanes and collides with the traffic traveling in the same direction.
• Parking lot accidents. When a driver fails to yield to traffic traveling perpendicular to their vehicle while traveling through a busy parking lot.
