T-bone accidents occur when the rear or front of a vehicle hits the side of another vehicle while going at full speed. These types of collisions are often dangerous and may result in severe injuries and even death.
Extent of the Injuries
Because there is less protection on the sides of the vehicle, injuries that result from a T-bone accident are often severe and require extensive treatment and rehabilitation. Common injuries include:
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Muscle strains and sprains
An average payout for a T-bone accident takes into account the medical expenses related to the injuries. Some injuries, such as moderate to severe
traumatic brain injuries, require lifelong rehabilitation, which increases the payout.
Property Damage
The extent of damage to the vehicle is also a factor. Because T-bone crashes often occur at high speeds, there is a good chance that the vehicle will need total replacement.
