Name: Side Impact Collisions
Brand: Christopher C. Vader PC
Rating: 4.8 (17 reviews)

Side impact collisions, or “T-bone” accidents, can result in very serious or fatal injuries. Even when equipped with airbags, the side of a vehicle has minimal protection in an impact. If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in a side impact accident, you need help with the legal issue of compensation.

Side Impact Collision Causes

A side-impact collision can change the lives of innocent drivers and their passengers. Some of the most common causes of these accidents include the following:

Running a red light: Speeding through an intersection while disregarding traffic signals can result in some of the most high-impact side collisions.
Failure to yield: When multiple streets merge, a yield sign makes it possible for traffic to flow smoothly.
Disregarding stop signs: Running a stop sign when speeding through city streets places other drivers and their passengers at extreme risk of injuries.
Drunk or drug-impaired driving: If a driver is unable to think quickly and respond to changing circumstances due to the influence of drugs or alcohol, they may fail to notice a stop sign, red light, or yield at an intersection.
Speeding: Driving faster than the speed limit can lead to a serious or deadly side-impact crash.

What is a Side-Impact Crash Worth in Damages?

After sustaining serious injuries in a side-impact accident, you will face mounting bills, along with the pain, stress, and emotional trauma. If you file a claim, several types of compensation can be pursued, including the following:

Economic Damages

Lost wages
Loss of future earnings
Medical bills
Future estimated medical costs
Physical therapy and rehabilitation
Long-term assistive care

Non-Economic Damages

Pain and suffering
Emotional anguish
Reduced quality of life
Loss of companionship, love, and support of a partner or spouse

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

California has a two-year statute of limitations. If your case is not filed within two years, you lose the opportunity to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit. The longer you wait, the greater the chance that important evidence will be lost or destroyed, with eyewitnesses becoming harder to find and interview.

Our attorney at Christopher C. Vader PC can help you collect the following types of evidence as soon as possible:

Police reports
Photographs
Dashcam footage
Video evidence
Eyewitness testimony
Medical records
Property damage reports
Driving history of the at-fault driver
