Intersection and Side Impact Collisions
Experienced Albany T-Bone Accident Lawyers
Drivers and passengers are most vulnerable in a side-impact "T-bone" accident. The injuries are often severe and lasting, if not fatal. There is usually no mystery about who caused the crash — a driver who failed to yield the right of way. Beyond proving fault, the real value of an attorney is making sure that your compensation covers your medical and financial losses.
The Law Offices of Hacker Murphy, LLP, excels at maximizing damages for car accidents. In 20 years of personal injury litigation, we have helped thousands of crash victims recover compensation, including many victims who suffered serious or crippling injuries from side-impact crashes.
If you or a family member was injured in a T-bone collision, contact us immediately.
T-bone accidents account for nearly one-third of all car accidents and more than one-fourth of traffic fatalities. Only rear-end collisions are more common, and only head-on collisions cause more deaths.
Most side-impact collisions occur at intersections when a driver runs a red light, fails to stop for a stop sign or otherwise fails to yield the right of way. We have also handled T-bone accidents in parking lots or when the other driver backed up or entered the roadway without looking. If necessary, we use professional investigators and accident reconstructionists to prove that our client had the green light or right of way, and that the other driver was speeding, drunk, distracted or otherwise negligent.
The bigger challenge is convincing the insurance company to settle for an amount that covers the aftermath. We are familiar with the common injuries in T-bone accidents: head injury and shoulder injury, broken or crushed legs, amputations, and neck injuries and whiplash from the violent side-to-side jolting. We work with doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists and other medical professionals to document the extent of damage and ongoing needs. We also pursue damages for lost wages, permanent disability, and pain and suffering.
