What Is a T-Bone Accident?

A T-bone accident, or a side-impact collision, occurs when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another, often at an intersection. These crashes are especially dangerous because the side of a vehicle offers less space to absorb the impact, increasing the risk of serious injuries.

Common causes of T-bone accidents include:

  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Failing to yield when turning left
  • Distracted driving at intersections
  • Speeding through yellow lights
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol

T-bone collisions often result in injuries such as:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Broken ribs and internal injuries
  • Spinal cord and back injuries
  • Shoulder and hip fractures
  • Whiplash, concussions, and soft-tissue injuries

Our attorneys investigate the collision, review police reports, gather witness statements, and examine available video footage. We also review medical records and financial losses to build evidence supporting your claim.

Phoenix T-Bone Accident FAQs

Who is at fault in a T-bone accident in Arizona?

The driver who fails to yield, runs a red light, or violates
another traffic law often bears responsibility. However, fault
depends on the evidence, and multiple drivers may share
responsibility.

What is my T-bone accident case worth?

Your case value depends on your injuries, medical expenses,
lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses. A T-bone
accident lawyer evaluates these factors to determine what
compensation to pursue.

How long do I have to file a T-bone accident claim in Arizona?

Arizona generally gives injured victims two years from the
accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Certain
exceptions and shorter deadlines apply, so speak with an
attorney as soon as possible.

What if the other driver says the accident was my fault?

Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence system, meaning
you may still recover compensation even if you share some fault.
Your compensation generally decreases according to your
percentage of responsibility.

How much does it cost to hire a T-bone accident lawyer?

Shapiro Law Team offers free consultations and handles
personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis. You pay no
attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.

Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company already offered a settlement?

You should understand the full extent of your injuries and
losses before accepting an offer. Our attorneys review
settlement offers and negotiate for compensation that
reflects your damages.

Does Shapiro Law Team handle T-bone accidents involving trucks or rideshare vehicles?

Yes. Our attorneys represent victims of commercial truck,
Uber, and Lyft accidents, including side-impact collisions
involving complex liability and insurance coverage.
