A T-bone automobile accident, a type of side-impact collision, happens when the front of one vehicle crashes into the side of another vehicle, forming a “T” shape. T-bone car crashes often occur at intersections in Massachusetts, such as when one driver fails to yield or runs a red light.
T-bone accidents can be extremely dangerous, especially when a larger vehicle collides with the side of a smaller vehicle. A significant portion of car crash fatalities are due to T-bone and other side impact collisions, and not all vehicles have sufficient safety features on their sides to prevent injuries or death in a T-bone accident. Because it increases the force of the collision, speeding is correlated with higher rates of death in T-bone and other side impact crashes.

There are many scenarios that lead to T-bone accidents in Massachusetts, including:
Understanding the full extent of your damages after a side impact car crash can be difficult without experienced legal representation. If you do not have proper legal guidance, it is easy for an insurance adjuster or a court to overlook certain losses or undervalue your claim. This is especially the case when dealing with damages that do not have one obvious monetary value, like emotional distress, pain and suffering, or diminished quality of life.
An experienced Massachusetts Auto Accident Lawyer like Tracy Paulsen can help ensure that all of the losses related to your T-bone accident are correctly identified and thoroughly documented. This documentation plays a critical role in making a strong case to insurance adjusters or in court, helping you to obtain full and fair compensation.
Examples of T-bone accident damages Rightful Legal may be able to help you recover, if applicable to your case, include:
Every personal injury case is different, and the amount of damages you may recover depends on many factors. These factors can include your pre-accident earnings, your post-accident earnings, your expected recovery, how severe your injuries are, your age, and whether you share any fault for the crash.
For all Massachusetts personal injury lawsuits, such as injuries caused by T-bone automobile accidents, there is a rigid time limit to bring a claim. This deadline, called the statute of limitations, is just three years from the date you discover, or should have reasonably discovered, your injury. For T-bone crash injuries, this is usually the date of your accident. If you are not sure how to calculate the date you discovered or should have discovered your personal injuries, an experienced Massachusetts personal injury attorney can help.
The most important takeaway is that you should not wait to find legal help and make your T-bone accident personal injury claim. There is no way to make a claim or receive compensation once the statute of limitations expires. Waiting to seek out legal counsel and make your claim can prevent you from ever recovering damages to compensate you for your injuries and the other losses you have suffered as a result of your accident.
