T-Bone Collisions

Houston T-Bone Collisions Lawyer Serving Texas

T-bone collisions can happen in an instant. You may not have had any notice that a careless driver was hurtling toward the side of your vehicle until the moment of impact. Unlike in rear-end collisions or head-on collisions, where there is a larger section of the car between you and the other vehicle, there is little protection offered by the doors or sides of a vehicle in a T-bone accident. Airbags are unlikely to offer the needed level of protection due to the angle of impact. Because of these issues, catastrophic injuries are likely to occur in these types of accidents.

The Law Office of Shane R. Kadlec is experienced in pursuing compensation for those who have been injured in T-bone car accidents. Having handled many such cases, our legal team has developed a deep understanding of the effects a T-bone collision can have on victims. Attorney Kadlec is ready to step in and fight to recover the compensation you deserve while affording you the time you need to focus on your personal recovery.

Lawyer Uncovering the Negligent Actions of At-Fault Drivers in T-Bone Collisions

When a driver causes a T-Bone accident, it is a reasonable assumption that they have done something careless. Our team is skilled in investigating these accidents meticulously to uncover the cause of the accident and prove that a driver acted negligently. Common types of driver negligence that can cause T-bone collisions include:

• Distraction - Drivers who are looking down at their cell phones or who are otherwise distracted may fail to look both ways before executing a turn.
• Intoxication - Drivers who are drunk or who have taken drugs may operate their vehicles as if there are no other drivers on the road. An intoxicated driver may run red lights, fail to stop at a stop sign, fail to signal a turn, or make unpredictable movements.
• Traffic violations - When drivers fail to notice or obey traffic signs or signals, they may make illegal turns and hit another driver from the side.

Attorney Kadlec will work tirelessly to uncover and prove the cause of your T-bone accident so that he can recover compensation for you.

Injuries Commonly Caused by T-Bone Collisions

The injuries caused by T-Bone accidents can be severe, or they may even result in wrongful death. Injuries commonly suffered by victims of T-Bone accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injuries - A person's head may be struck hard by the side of the car, and they may experience concussions or other forms of brain trauma.
• Spinal cord injuries - The force of another vehicle colliding with a car may cause serious damage to the bones in the spine or the nerves in the spinal cord. These injuries can cause paralysis or other permanent disabilities.
• Broken bones - The bones in the human body are strong, but they are not strong enough to withstand a major impact like a T-bone collision, and multiple types of fractures may occur.

After a T-bone accident, it is critical to seek urgent medical assistance. Injuries may or may not be readily apparent without medical imaging or other diagnostic tests.

Attorney for All Available Compensation After a T-Bone Accident

• Emotional trauma
• Property damage
