Gaithersburg T-Bone Accident Lawyers
T-bone accidents are sudden, violent, and often devastating. They happen when one car slams into the side of another—usually at an intersection—and the results can be life-altering for the people in the car that gets hit. One driver’s failure to yield, obey a light, or pay attention can cause serious injuries that ripple through every part of your life.
At Maryland Injury Lawyers, we represent crash victims throughout Montgomery County. If you’ve been injured in a T-bone collision, we’re here to take on the legal fight so you can focus on healing. These cases aren’t minor. They aren’t routine. And they’re not something you should handle on your own. Our Gaithersburg T-bone accident lawyers have the experience and resources to help, and we’re ready to get to work.
Why T-Bone Accidents Are Especially Dangerous
Unlike front or rear-end crashes, T-bone accidents hit directly at the sides of vehicles, where there’s less structural reinforcement and less protection. The impact is often close to the driver or passenger, and serious injuries are common. Even at lower speeds, a side-impact crash can crumple doors inward, shatter windows, and cause occupants to strike the interior of the vehicle or be thrown from it. Many T-bone collisions result in rollovers or multi-car pileups, especially at busy intersections. In Gaithersburg, these accidents tend to occur along major roads like Route 355, Montgomery Village Avenue, and Midcounty Highway—places where high speeds and left turns combine with driver error or distraction.
What Causes Most T-Bone Collisions?
T-bone crashes are almost always preventable. They happen because one driver ignores the rules of the road or isn’t paying attention. Some of the most common causes include:
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Failing to yield while turning left
- Speeding through intersections
- Driving distracted, such as texting, eating, or looking at a phone
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Making improper U-turns or rolling through stop signs
When a driver makes one of these choices and causes a crash, they need to be held accountable. That’s where we come in.
The Injuries Can Be Catastrophic
T-bone accidents regularly cause severe, long-term injuries. Victims often need emergency care, surgery, physical therapy, and time away from work. In the worst cases, they may never return to the life they had before. We help people recover from injuries such as:
- Hip and pelvic fractures
- Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal injuries, including herniated discs or paralysis
- Internal injuries and organ damage
- Shoulder, rib, and collarbone fractures
- Cuts and lacerations requiring stitches or surgery
When the other driver is clearly at fault, you should not be left struggling to pay medical bills or cover lost wages. We build a strong case for full and fair compensation, and we fight for every dollar you’re owed.
How We Prove Fault and Maximize Your Compensation
The insurance company may try to blame you, argue that the light was unclear, or claim your injuries aren’t serious. We don’t let that happen. We build strong cases using solid evidence such as police reports and crash diagrams, surveillance or traffic camera footage, witness statements from the scene, black box data and vehicle damage analysis, and testimony from accident reconstruction experts. With this foundation, we can demonstrate not just who caused the crash, but exactly how it happened and why they are responsible. Then we pursue damages for your medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, future treatment needs, and more. If the at-fault driver was on the job or driving a commercial vehicle, we’ll also look into employer liability and commercial insurance coverage.
What If the Other Driver Had Little or No Insurance?
Unfortunately, some of the most reckless drivers on the road are also the ones without enough insurance. If that’s the case in your crash, we help you turn to your uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage to fill the gap. Our team knows how to work with multiple policies and coordinate benefits so you aren’t left holding the bag. We also make sure your own insurance company treats you fairly, because they don’t always make it easy, even when you’re the policyholder.
