Common Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents
There are a variety of car accident types that can cause injuries to drivers and passengers alike. We’ve seen clients who have experienced injuries after motor vehicle accidents that include cuts and abrasions, burns, broken bones, sprains and fractured, spinal cord and neck injuries, brain and head injuries, and more. Depending on the details of the accident, some injuries can be permanent and require lifelong care, such as if a victim was paralyzed in an accident or experienced serious brain damage.
Common types of motor vehicle accidents our team has handled include:
- Rear-end accidents: One of the most common accidents occurs when one vehicle collides with the back of another vehicle, often as a result of tailgating, failing to brake, or taking too long to brake. Many drivers are distracted or on their phones while driving, which can prevent them from seeing slowed or stopped traffic ahead.
- Collisions while merging: Drivers and riders alike must take care to signal and check their blind spots before they merge or change lanes, but this often doesn’t happen. When drivers merge without following traffic laws, they can collide with vehicles in the lanes next to them or force drivers to swerve to get out of their way, only to cause additional hazards.
- Head-on collisions: Accidents that occur when two vehicles hit one another head-on often result in serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). These can occur when one car loses control or drifts over into oncoming traffic as a result of speeding, driving while intoxicated, or some other form of reckless driving.
- T-bone crashes: Side-impact crashes, or T-bone accidents, are fairly common at busy intersections. When vehicle attempt to make left turns and don’t yield to oncoming traffic, they can be hit in the side, resulting in serious injuries for passengers.
