The Dangers of Side-Impact Collisions
Side impact collisions occur when one vehicle strikes the side of another. In most cases, these accidents involve the side of one vehicle and the front of another vehicle, but they can involve the side of one vehicle and the rear of another vehicle as well. Sometimes called T-bone accidents, they are common at intersections but can occur anywhere vehicles do not travel in the same direction. They can even occur if one vehicle veers into oncoming traffic and is hit on the side as it tries to avoid a collision.
Side-impact collisions are sometimes not thought of as serious or devastating as frontal or high-speed accidents, but they can be deadly. Many vehicles have fewer safety features and less insulation—and smaller crumple space—in the sides and doors as compared to the front or the rear of the vehicle. As a result, side-impact collisions can cause serious injuries to a vehicle’s occupants.
Furthermore, children seated in the rear of a vehicle can suffer serious injuries and even death if the vehicle they are traveling in is struck with enough force from the side.

Injuries and Damages in Side-Impact Collision
The severity of your injuries and the extent of the damage that your side-impact collision causes may depend on the size of the vehicles involved, the speed at which each was traveling, and whether they had important safety features installed.
Injuries that may occur in side-impact accidents include:
- Upper body and torso injuries
- Brain and head injuries
- Spinal cord and neck injuries
- Broken bones and fractures, especially of the ribs and limbs
- Injuries to the mouth, face, and hands
- Internal organ damage
- Cuts and lacerations from flying debris or shattered car parts
We recommend seeing a doctor as soon as possible after an accident so that a medical professional can diagnose and treat your injuries. This visit can also serve as evidence in your case, as is it can connect your injuries to your accident.
Wrongful Death
Tragically, some side-impact crashes are fatal. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), motor vehicle accidents were the second-leading cause of unintentional deaths in the United States in 2018, behind only unintentional poisoning.
If your loved one was killed in a crash caused by a negligent driver, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the responsible party.
