A t-bone accident refers to a motor vehicle collision that results in one vehicle hitting another vehicle between the driver or passenger side doors also known as the safety cell area or between the “A” and “C” pillars.

These type of side impact collisions can result in a great deal of property damage and serious injury for those involved.

Why are T-Bone Crashes so Dangerous?

In a side-impact crash, passengers are vulnerable because of the lack of protection within the vehicles side panels, and the speed at which most t-bone crashes occur.

Common Causes of Side Impact Accidents

Most of these types of collisions happen at traffic intersections, but there are numerous scenarios that can result in a serious side impact crash.

Some of the most common include:

  • Driver distraction
  • Driving while intoxicated (DUI/DWI)
  • Driving recklessly
  • Hydroplaning
  • Speeding
  • Texting & driving

Very often a driver may fail to stop at a stop sign or traffic signal, causing a t-bone crash at a high rate of speed. The injuries that arise from these accidents tend to be more severe and may even result in death.
