Maryland T-Bone Accident Lawyers
T-bone accidents, also known as side-impact or broadside collisions, are among the most dangerous types of car crashes. These accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the limited protection offered by the sides of a vehicle. If you or a loved one has been injured in a T-bone accident caused by another driver’s negligence, Maryland Injury Lawyers is here to fight for you. Our Maryland T-bone accident lawyers take on the insurance companies and don’t back down until you get the compensation you deserve.
How Do T-Bone Accidents Happen?
T-bone accidents typically occur at intersections when one driver fails to yield the right of way. These crashes are often caused by:
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Failing to yield when making a left turn
- Distracted driving (texting, talking on the phone, etc.)
- Speeding through intersections
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Reckless or aggressive driving
When another driver’s negligence causes a side-impact crash, they should be held accountable for the damage they’ve caused. Our lawyers know how to build a strong case that proves liability and maximizes your compensation.
Serious Injuries in T-Bone Collisions
The side of a vehicle provides little protection compared to the front and rear, making T-bone accidents especially dangerous, particularly when a taller car like a pickup truck or SUV strikes a smaller sedan or coupe. Victims of these crashes often suffer severe injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal organ damage
- Wrongful Death
These injuries can result in long-term disabilities, costly medical bills, and lost wages. Our legal team fights aggressively to ensure you receive full and fair compensation for your losses.
Who Is Liable in a T-Bone Accident in Maryland?
Determining fault in a T-bone accident can be challenging. In many cases, the at-fault driver may deny responsibility, and insurance companies will try to shift the blame. Our lawyers conduct thorough investigations to determine liability by reviewing traffic camera footage and police reports, interviewing eyewitnesses, analyzing accident scene evidence, and consulting accident reconstruction experts as needed.
Maryland follows a strict contributory negligence rule, meaning if the insurance company can prove you were even 1% at fault, you could be barred from recovering compensation. This makes it crucial to have an experienced lawyer who can prove the other driver was entirely responsible for the crash.
Compensation for T-Bone Accident Victims
If you’ve been injured in a T-bone collision, you may be entitled to compensation for the many losses you have suffered or will continue to endure, including medical expenses (current and future), lost wages and loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. We won’t neglect the property damage portion of your claim either to ensure you are fully compensated.
At Maryland Injury Lawyers, we fight to secure the maximum compensation possible for our clients. We don’t settle for lowball offers—we take cases to court when necessary to get justice for our clients.
