How Can Our Attorneys Help with Your T-Bone Car Accident Case?
Seeking compensation for injuries from a T-bone car accident can be a significant challenge without the help of an experienced attorney. Your T-bone car accident lawyer can help you by:
Reviewing Your Case for Free
Before you can seek compensation, you’ll first need to determine whether or not you have a valid claim. We’ll sit down with you, hear your story, review your case, and inform you of your legal options free of charge.
Gathering Evidence
Successful personal injury cases need a substantial amount of clear and convincing evidence. Your attorney can investigate the collision and collect all the proof needed to build the strongest case possible, including police reports, surveillance and traffic camera footage, eyewitness statements, financial and medical records, and expert witness testimony.
Seeking Maximum Compensation
The money you can recover after a T-bone accident varies depending on several factors, including the severity of your injuries and the compensation sources available to you. Your personal injury attorney can calculate the full extent of your losses and then aggressively pursue maximum compensation.
Negotiating and Litigating
Insurance companies will use various tactics to weaken your car accident claim and minimize your payout. Our attorneys know all their tricks and how to counter them. We will fiercely advocate for a fair settlement at the negotiating table. And if the insurers won’t play fair, we can file a car accident lawsuit and take your claim to court.
What Compensation Can You Seek After a T-Bone Accident?
The average payout for T-bone accidents includes compensation for both the financial losses and the physical and emotional damage your injuries have caused. Depending on the specifics of your case, your T-bone car accident lawyer can help you pursue compensation for:
- Medical bills, including ambulance services, hospital visits, doctor’s appointments, surgeries, prescription medications, medical devices, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and future medical expenses
- Lost wages, which covers the income you missed while you were out of work recovering and any reduction in your future earning capacity due to your injuries
- Pain and suffering, which provides compensation for the physical pain, mental anguish, and emotional trauma you’ve experienced due to the collision and the injuries it caused
- Property damage, including the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle and any other property damaged in the crash
Who Is At Fault in a T-Bone Accident?
Liability in a T-bone crash commonly falls on one or more of the following:
- The other driver – A negligent driver is the most common at-fault party in T-bone collisions. This might be because they were distracted, impaired, drowsy, speeding, or committing some other kind of traffic violation.
- Employers – If the at-fault driver was working at the time of the crash, their employer may bear some responsibility for their negligence. Employers can also be liable if they poorly trained or vetted their employee.
- Vehicle manufacturers – When a defective or malfunctioning part causes a collision, the manufacturer of that part may be liable for the injuries it has caused.
- Government entities – If poor road design, defective traffic signals, or hazardous road conditions contributed to the crash, a local or state government entity may be responsible.
Your Nassau County T-bone accident attorney can determine who is at fault for the collision and pursue compensation from all available sources.
Time Limit to File a T-Bone Accident Lawsuit
The deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit under New York law is generally three years from the date of the crash. If you’re pursuing a claim against a government entity, then you only have one year and 90 days from the accident date. You must also file a Notice of Claim within 90 days.
The legal process takes time, and these deadlines can pass you by much faster than you might expect. Contact a T-bone accident lawyer as soon as possible to get started on your personal injury claim.
Common Causes of T-Bone Accidents
Busy intersections like the ones you’ll find all along Hempstead Turnpike, Jericho Turnpike, and Old Country Road are some of the most common areas where T-bone accidents occur. Those collisions are often caused by:
- Running red lights
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Failure to yield
- Driving under the influence
- Poor road conditions
- Defective traffic signals
We can work with accident reconstruction experts to determine what caused the car crash and who is responsible. Our team can then gather evidence to help prove your claim and seek maximum compensation.
