T-Bone Accidents

T-bone accidents, which occur when one vehicle crashes into the side of another vehicle, can have devastating consequences. While these types of accidents may occur for several different reasons, most T-bones occur in intersections when two drivers both believe they have the right of way. T-bone accidents may also occur due to driver distraction, when one driver is actively ignore the road to play with a phone.

Like other types of automotive accidents, T-bones may be caused by several different factors. The most common causes of T-bone accidents in Dallas include:

Distracted drivers. Since most T-bone accidents occur within intersections, we often see that one driver failed to pay full attention to warning signs and traffic signals, and barreled into another vehicle.

Poorly designed intersections. Even the most careful driver can be susceptible to poor visibility – for example, if an intersection has broken lights at night — and malfunctioning traffic lights. Drivers should always be on alert when crossing any intersection, no matter how safe it may seem.
