Side impact accidents, sometimes called T-bone accidents, have the potential to cause life-threatening injuries. The people in the vehicle on the side of impact have a higher possibility of catastrophic injury, but the chance of being severely harmed in a side impact accident is high regardless of where you are seated.

Injuries caused by side impact car accidents can be especially severe because the impact of a side collision isn’t absorbed as much as in a front or back collision. There is less protection on the side of a vehicle, leaving passengers and drivers at risk.

When you decide that filing an accident claim and pursuing financial compensation is the right choice for you, there are two probable outcomes: settlement or litigation. Settlement negotiations with insurance companies can leave unrepresented accident victims with less money than they deserve. Keep in mind that these companies are not on your side. They want to pay you as little as possible. Having a car accident attorney negotiate on your behalf increases your chances of a fair settlement.
If no settlement is reached, filing a lawsuit is often the next step. It is strongly recommended that you have legal representation during the litigation process. Court procedures, strict deadlines, legal strategy, and state and federal laws all play a role in a court case, and to be successful you need a knowledgeable attorney to assist you through each requirement.
