T-bone Auto Accidents

The devastation caused by auto accidents is great. Many injuries are life changing and can require a lifetime of care. In San Diego, CA, attorney Chris Olsen has experience representing victims of car accidents. 

InT-bone auto accidents, drivers and passengers are often seriously injured or even killed. All injured parties deserve to be fully compensated and receive proper medical care. Experienced personal injury attorneys help by establishing who was at fault and fighting for an amount of damages that adequately compensates the victims.

Devastating Consequences of T-bone Auto Accidents

A T-Bone auto accident is caused when one car hits the side of another car. The impact can be severe, especially when side airbags are not deployed. When the force of the impact is great, the consequences may include:

• Broken bones
• Damage to internal organs
• Bruising and deep lacerations
• Head and neck injury
• Lower or upper back and shoulder injury

Even in a minor incident the injuries caused can be major. Victims are entitled to receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the costs of ongoing medical care or physical therapy needs.  

In the most serious cases, where a fatality occurs, the family left behind is entitled to pursue damages for funeral expenses and other forms of compensation such as the amount required to replace the income of the deceased. 

Every case is unique, and requires an individualized approach. Special care must be taken to differentiate between the needs of drivers versus passengers, avoiding a conflict of interest when necessary. This takes specialized skill and legal planning, both of which are offered by the legal team at our office.
