Common Causes of T-Bone Accidents at Intersections

One of the most frequent causes of T-bone accidents at intersections is the failure to yield the right of way. This often occurs when a driver runs a red light or stop sign, striking another vehicle that has the legal right to proceed through the intersection. Another common cause is distracted driving, where the driver is not paying sufficient attention to the road and fails to notice the traffic signals or other vehicles. 

Speeding can also lead to a Linden T-bone collision, as excessive speeds make it difficult to stop in time to avoid a crash. Additionally, impaired driving due to alcohol or drugs significantly increases the likelihood of such accidents, impairing the driver’s judgment and reaction times. Poor visibility at intersections, whether due to weather conditions or obstructed views, can also contribute to the risk of T-bone accidents.

How Fault Is Determined in an Intersection Accident

Determining fault in an intersection accident, including in a T-bone collision, involves a thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding the crash. Law enforcement officers, insurance adjusters and injury lawyers will often examine several key factors to establish who was at fault. This process typically includes gathering witness statements, reviewing traffic camera footage if available, and analyzing the road conditions at the time of the accident. 

Evidence such as skid marks, vehicle damage, and the final resting positions of the involved vehicles can provide crucial insights into how the accident occurred. Additionally, traffic laws play a significant role in determining fault in a Linden T-bone collision. For instance, a driver who ran a red light or stop sign would typically be found at fault. In other cases, the driver might have been speeding, distracted by their cell phone, or intoxicated. 

Injury Damages Caused by a Negligent Driver That Can Be Recovered

When injured by a negligent driver, victims may recover damages for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and even punitive damages if the conduct was egregious. These recoverable damages help ensure the injured party receives proper compensation for the hardships and distress caused by the accident.
